[petsc-dev] --download-ptscotch

[Satish Balay]

We use:

    self.download     = ['http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/file/34099/scotch_6.0.3.tar.gz',
                         'http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/externalpackages/scotch_6.0.3.tar.gz']


So - if the first url fails - configure should use the second one.

However sometimes configure hangs. I see configure is hanging here -
but weget is not. So perhaps a bug in python urllib?

[have to check more..]
