How are MPI processes started?

When starting an MPI job with mpirun or mpiexec, I can understand how one might go about starting each individual process. However, without any compiler magic, how do these wrapper executables communicate the arrangement (MPI communicator) to the MPI processes?

I am interested in the details, or a pointer on where to look.
