That is odd.  Installing the mvapich2 package using this method allowed
the selection and use of mpiexec for me.  Maybe there is something
quirky between my test/build system where something may have been
overlooked.  I'll see if I can reproduce this problem and I'll get back
to you.

During the install process this is supposed to be linked to mpiexec.
There are other process managers that can act as mpiexec and users can
choose to modify the link later if they've changed their mind as to
which one to use.
