Marco, 
thanks, but there's no need for this patch, the Makefile only
provides some reasonable default values but it cannot take into account
all possible options for any platform and any MPI flavour.

If the flags set by default do not work for you, you can override them
by:

setenv OFMPIINC "-I/path/to/mpi/includes"
setenv OFMPILIBS "-L/path/to/mpi/lib -lmpi -lwhatever"
pkg install -forge mpi

I am aware that C++ language bindings have been deprecated in MPI.
One of the reasons they have been deprecated is that no one was actually
using them.

And indeed neither is the mpi OF package which has been programmed using
the C bindings right from the start, so there is nothing to change there ;)
