It's just username@hostname (my `hostname` doesn't return a domain name for 
uninteresting reasons).  FWIW, this is the same string that has been reported 
in ompi_info for a while now.  I believe the intent was that you could see the 
username of who built Open MPI / know who to blame if it was 
configured/built/installed incorrectly.  :-)
