ouch. hm..  sure does seem like those files should be "fortran
friendly" by default.  I remember adding those lines, but now I don't
remember why.  Will see if there's a better way to do what we want.

Yeah, buildiface is an MPICH2 wrapper generator.  I think it is
shipped along with any released MPICH2 tarball.  There's a script in
src/libf called "createffiles" which calls buildiface with the right
arguments and tells you what environment variable to set so that it
can find the MPICH2 directory.
