... even though one could argue that openmpi, if it provides wrappers for gcc
and g++, could also depend on them -- though it seems somewhat circular. 

On the other hand, Debian has the 'build-essential' package which provides
make, gcc, g++ --- maybe we (both!!) should just Depends on that.  But I seem
to recall that this was implied anyway.  Maybe this changed recently. Does
anybody know?
