[petsc-dev] [petsc-maint #44162] Why do I always have to run 'conftest' on a batch system now?

[Barry Smith]

   Satish,

     You changed the output of $PETSC_ARCH/conf/reconfigure*.py to  
print one option for line, very readable!

     Could you please change the generation of reconfigure.py from  
conftest (for the batch option) and the printing of initial configure  
options in configure.log to do the one option for line please? They  
are too hard to read for lots of options.

     Thanks

     Barry
