Yep. That's what I meant. I want to make things easy for end-users,
but that does not mean that I want to go too far in order save them
from every detail that could make their code non-portable across
different PETSc configurations.. So if you #include "mpi.h" but use
mpiuni, then sorry... after all you do not need to include "mpi.h",
"petsc.h" does that for you...
