Naturally.  I would do this by adding an include (listing ctetgen
sources and target lib) to gmakefile (supporting the same for other
build systems is more of a hassle).

However, I think this is a crappy way to distribute software and Matt
should have kept ctetgen a stand-alone package instead of inlining it
into PETSc source tree (which broke the license terms) and then having
it be only partially divorced.
