Is this MPICH, or IBM MPI?

When I install MPICH 3.x on my Linux commodity cluster, I only see mpif77 and mpif90.  Does MPICH do something different when installed on a BG system?

Fair enough.  

But I'm trying to determine if MPICH really has mpif03 and mpif08, or whether you were using IBM's MPI, or whether you used MPICH's "mpif90" with some appropriate flag to force a particular syntax/dialect.
