That would probably be best.

No.

Since we have the wrapper compilers, and since the wrapper compilers can
be arbitrarily layered, we've never really seen the need to have such
tools. Are there cases that are not addressed by using the wrapper
compilers?

I ask because if the main issue is just having mpicc (etc.) in your path,
then it sounds like exactly the same issue was putting lam-config in your
path. Is there something different?
