Summary:                    FindMPI MPIEXEC_MAX_NUMPROCS is hard coded to 2
Description: 
In FindMPI, MPIEXEC_MAX_NUMPROCS is hard coded to 2.  The seems very confusing
given its description:

set(MPIEXEC_MAX_NUMPROCS "2"   CACHE STRING "Maximum number of processors
available to run MPI applications.")

It seems that it should either try to figure out the number of available cores
to state that it is explicitly meant to be overridden.

It isn't mentioned at all in the docs.
