Hm, I'm not getting very far, see the following error output for an
empty mpi block, the error message says "invalid option '--np'":

Glad you spotted that. It's fallout from the "new tokenizer" -- but
not really a bug in the tokenizer, rather that option placement was
supported by a nasty piece of ad-hocery before. I need to think about
the best way of enabling it again. In the meantime you can add the
--np option to the first line of the mpi block instead of the last.
