But this is exactly what I was trying to illustrate: it could be
either DO_PARALLEL='mpirun -n AMBER_NTHREADS' or
'mpiexec -c AMBER_NTHREADS' -- in both cases AMBER_NTHREADS would
be substituted by the actual number later. This is not the "right"
way (there is probably more than one anyway) -- just another possibility.
