The modifications are for the following reasons:

- cleanly build hypre with PETSc
- avoid duplication of superlu/blas stuff.

etc..

The user interface is untouched - so you should be able to use the
libraries built by PETSc. However there are newer version of hypre -
which you might want to explore [curently petsc uses hypre-1.11b, and
the latest hypre version is hypre-1.13]
