[petsc-dev] Scotch has metis.h file; bad design

[Barry Smith]

    Scotch has a file called metis.h this is a big problem when  
automatic installers are installing both ParMetis and Scotch since  
automatic installers are not smart enough to read header file notes  
and figure out exactly what file to delete. I would have reported this  
as a bug to Scotch but their bug reporting webpage requires SETTING UP  
AN ACCOUNT and I could not figure out an address for the Scotch people  
to send them email.

    I wasted a copy hours on this "bug" because things were being  
built with the wrong metis.h that I didn't know about.

    Perhaps the Scotch people could fix this annoying feature.  
Complaining to you because I don't have someone else to complain to,

    Thanks,

     Barry
