Problems with PGI and 1.1.1

[Gerry Creager]

First, PGI 8 should never have seen the light of day. We back-ported to 
7.2 after a month of sys admin testing. ( was better. 10.3 is good, but 
now 10.5 is out. Keeping up is a pain.

I'll have to run the test suite again, but on "real" wrf runs, it 
appears to behave fine.

Are you sure OpenMPI and the mpich flavors were compiled with -fPIC? 
That was a problem I ran into, although it appeared as a compile-time error.
