[petsc-dev] control configure summary output

Matt,

currently configure dumps the following to the screen

-------------------------------------------------

PETSc:

  ** Before running "make" your PETSC_ARCH must be specified with:
  **  ** setenv PETSC_ARCH asterix-foo (csh/tcsh)
  **  ** PETSC_ARCH=asterix-foo; export PETSC_ARCH (sh/bash)
  **
  **
  ** Before running "make" your PETSC_DIR must be specified with:
  **  ** setenv PETSC_DIR /home/balay/tmp/petsc-dev (csh/tcsh)
  **  ** PETSC_DIR=/home/balay/tmp/petsc-dev; export PETSC_DIR (sh/bash)
  **
  **
  ** Now build the libraries with "make all"

Its a bit wildy - and some of the recommendations get missed out. I'd like to to read something like:

  **
  **
  ** Now build the libraries with "make all"
  ** *************************************************************

Or simplify the last section to:

  ** *************************************************************
  ** Now build the libraries with "make PETSC_ARCH=asterix-foo PETSC_DIR=/home/balay/tmp/petsc-dev all"
  ** *************************************************************

Is there a way to control the order in which this stuff is dumped to
the screen [from the various .py files - so that it goes into the same
'PETSc:' section?]

thanks,
