Would gretl_x11 work on a system without openmpi installed, or would it
complain about the missing library?
It will work OK, as will gretlcli. It's just gretlmpi that won't work
without the MPI library.
We've taken some pains to arrange this: neither gretl_x11 nor gretlcli
are linked against the MPI library; we get the required symbols at
runtime via dlopen, if they're available.
