That's nice (though a bit nonstandard in that the user needs to be
careful when to make MOAB guess and when to specify), but autoconf for
zoltan and parmetis don't handle this properly:

  configure: error: "yes/include : not a directory"

  configure: WARNING: "Guessing '/usr/lib'"
  configure: error: "yes: not a directory"

I reran autoreconf -fi, I'll send you logs if you need.
