To quickly qualify that, our naming scheme is:

/usr/local/$application/$version-$compiler/

We name modules as:

$application-$compiler/$version

so someone can do:

module load gromacs-intel

and get the latest version of Gromacs built with the Intel compilers.

Then we can do these tricks like pull values out in relatively generic
module files thus:

[...]
set ver [lrange [split [ module-info name ] / ] 1 1 ]
set name [lrange [split [ module-info name ] / ] 0 0 ]
set subname [lrange [split $name - ] 0 0 ]
set compiler [lrange [split $name - ] 1 1 ]

if { ![ is-loaded $compiler ] } {
  module load $compiler
}

prepend-path PATH /usr/local/$subname/$ver-$compiler/bin
[...]

:-)
