blrts is the old old BGL way of doing things.  On BGP (Intrepid) that
compiler would be bgxlc. 

Jim, our site folks strongly discourage linking directly with bgxlc.
I can certainly believe it was needed in the BGL days in some
situations but your life will be a lot easier if you use the mpi
wrappers.

But we can still add $(LIBS) to the makefile, no problem.
