compiling PETSc with Intel MKL 10.0.1.14

[Satish Balay]

Intels' MKL is always confusing to me.

[balay at login02 em64t]$ cat libmkl_lapack.a
GROUP (libmkl_intel_lp64.a libmkl_intel_thread.a libmkl_core.a)

So linking with libmkl_lapack.a should work fine - and is correct [as
per the layered pure case mentioned below].
