- only test in the packages that actually require it.
State as a requirement.
ENH: skip build of packages with known mingw issues
- primarily kahip and pt-scotch.
Others may also have issues, but for these we tend to use system
packages anyhow.
ENH: add '-force' option to various scripts
- overrides some _lazy_ build logic
ENH: add support of additional configure options to some make scripts
- remove hard-coded --verbs from makeOPENMPI in favour of letting the
user provide it via the command-line for makeOPENMPI.
eg, makeOPENMPI openmpi-1.10.6 -- --with-verbs=DIRECTORY ...
- similar functionality in etc/tools/ThirdPartyFunctions to improve
the independence of ThirdParty while reducing clutter in the callers.
- add useGcc function for convenience
- mask seeing our own git-repo when building
STYLE: various items
- eliminate old user-editable configuration in files - now command-line only.
- use *_BUILD_DIR instead of *_BINARY_DIR for more clarity of the purpose
- drop use of '-q' option for wmakeCheckPwd (already has stderr redirect)
- drop checkVersion for makeParaView since it stopped working properly
with newer paraview version
CONFIG: update list of versions
