It does not put these in the -debug output.

The files that it drops are in the scratch dir. You'll need to go into
scratch/installs, and then it depends on what your INI file section names
are. You'll go to:

    <scratch>/installs/<mpi get>/<mpi install>/<mpi_version>/

And there should be files named "mpi_installed_vars.[csh|sh]" that you can
source, depending on your shell. IT should set PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

The intent of these files is for exactly this purpose -- for a human to test
borked MPI installs inside the MTT scratch tree.
