suppressing some command line options?

[Barry Smith]

 Boyce,

   Satish is working on this right now. It is a problem that we 
never properly resolved in that past and it needs to be solved.
Unfortunately we won't be able to get it into the current petsc release,
it will have to go in petsc-dev.

   Thanks for reminding us of this problem,

   Barry
