PLFS has done this in the past although currently we're more focused on openmpi so this patch hasn't been maintained in a long time.  But the attached patch I believe does go through all the mpich Makefile's and .am files and everything that needs to be patched.  Then you need to go in and add a new directory in romio/adio will your files.  However, for prototyping something for research purposes, my recommendation would be to just go into romio/adio/ad_pvfs and replace all the code in there with your code.  That way you don't need to mess with the complicated build mechanisms.  PLFS patch attached (also available through sourceforge.net).
