[petsc-dev] broke configure removed config.guess and config.sub

[Matthew Knepley]

Okay, I pushed. Satish, is there an easy way to send me the nightly builds
every day
for the next week. I want to make sure the shared library stuff is working.

I basically turned off anything I thought we were not using (Alpha, HPUX,
etc). I don't
think we can even test those. I have a list of tests to setup to make some
things work
(IBM, Cygwin, Solaris I think). Getting to them.

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their experiments
is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their experiments
lead.
