Hi all,

I've gotten back on Frost, and I've made some progress on the build 
approach.  The approach below will work with the release I'll send out in 
a bit, except for the "make tests".  The "make tests" is still broken 
because it has a pushd/popd in it :(.

There are a couple of changes to note:
- setting MPICC and MPIF77 variables is the best thing to do any time
  you want a specific MPI compiler
- if you do this, you don't need the --with-mpi on the configure line
- "make install" now works, using a script included to handle the case
  where the default install doesn't understand "-d"

The notes below are in README.frost3 in the upcoming distribution as well.

I'm going to ignore that for a little bit and see if I can get John's test 
codes to build over there.

Rob
