[petsc-dev] --download and spack

I don't think spack is really a replacemet for --download-package yet.

For one - it has some initial setup hump users have to go over. [how
does one specify compilers, and my prebuilt MPI?]

And then - we would need to update petsc support in spack to be as
externsive wrt externalpackages as we currently have.

And if you want to build any branch of petsc from spack - it requires
additional configs to spack code [an entry for each petsc branch].

One feature that petsc configure has - that spack does not yet have
(as far as I know) is 'self.dlib' - which I just used in p4est.py: [Ah
- I see a bug in my code - there should also be a corresponding usage
of 'self.dinclude'].

And then there is the compiler library detection issue. [ideally spack
should detect this and pass it down to all packages]. Curently some
packages have hacks for this.

var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/zoltan/package.py:                config_args.append('--with-libs=-lgfortran')
var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/mfem/package.py:            libs += LibraryList(find_system_libraries('libdl'))

etc..


Wrt the issue below:

its likely due to incorrect zlib entry in ~/.spack/packages.py
