Thanks Julien.

I think blacs-mpi, scalapack and suitesparse make sense for no-change
rebuilds.  But I've been procrastinating maintenance on the rest (just
took care of spooles last night, working on hypre now) so this will
motivate me to finish up hypre, scotch and mumps -- I'll take care of
those three.
