+mpb (computes electromagnetic band structures and modes)
+
+MPB is a free and open-source software package for computing electromagnetic
+band structures and modes. It saves results in hdf5 format.
+
+You may wish to also install: h5utils
+
+You very probably want to build a multi-processor version of this
+code by adding the "--with-openmp" configure option.
+
+
+Configuration:
+If the build script can find the ATLAS libraries, it will adapt the configure 
+options to use them rather than the default lapack.
+
+You can add additional options to the command line using the environment
+variable SBOPTIONS_MPB; e.g. to enable MPI (multi-processor calculation)
+using openmp, use:
+
+SBOPTIONS_MPB="--with-openmp" ./mpb.Slackbuild
+
+Alternatively, if building non-interactively (e.g. if using slpkg), use/create
+the file /etc/sbo_pkg_options.conf since this slackbuild script will search it
+for options. Simply include a line starting "mpb:" followed by options, e.g.:
+
+mpb: --with-openmp
+
+If you want to use mpich instead of openmp, you will have to recompile the
+installed slackware fftw library with two additional configure options, i.e.
+not only "--with-mpi" but also "--enable-type-prefix".
+
+Note:
+
+This mpb build script does *two* passes. This is so that when MPI
+support is enabled, the first compiles the mpb-data utility, then the second
+builds the full MPI version. The resulting package includes both, with any
+MPI version of the files replacing the non- MPI version.
