  Lisandro,

    Good point. etc was also suggested. Adding the petsc is 
kind of ugly with the non-installed version, for example

petsc-dev/$PETSC_ARCH/shared/petsc/petscrules

instead of 

petsc-dev/$PETSC_ARCH/shared/petscrules 

  These things are still up in the air and will be adjusted
as good ideas come in.
