[MPICH] Faster version of make and make install

[William Gropp]

It doesn't support a multithreaded make because of problems with ar  
(the library archiver doesn't ensure that concurrent updates do not  
corrupt the archive).  It can support building only the files that  
are required; there is an option for that in configure (--enable- 
dependencies); you also need to create the Makefile.in files to  
support this (the reason is that not all environments support the  
needed features; if you are in a GNU environment, all of this should  
work).
