IIRC, the code does not work with complex either. It was put into the
repository mostly because we don't have a good system for supporting forks.
It was off by default because the code was unstable and untested. There is
an example now (src/ksp/ksp/examples/tutorials/ex59.c) so I think we can
remove the --with-pcbddc option. Stefano, does this sound right to you?
