+Note: RAJA/UMPIRE/CALIPER are optional for MFEM itself, but many Tribol builds
+enable them. If your Tribol install does not depend on them, you can omit the
+corresponding `*_DIR` entries above.
+
+Note: `FMT_DIR` only needs to be added for the make-based build (and only when
+the Umpire install uses `fmt`). If `FMT_DIR` is not set and a sibling `fmt-*`
+directory exists next to your `UMPIRE_DIR`, MFEM's make configuration will try
+to pick it up automatically.
+
+Note: when using pre-built Tribol/Axom, you typically need to use a compatible
+compiler/MPI wrapper (same C++ standard library ABI).
