Charm++ parallel programming system

["Bennion, Brian" <Bennion1 AT llnl.gov>]

Didn't work.  The mpi inc/lib directories are not in the "standard" 
locations.  So I changed mpicc and mpicxx (in cc-mpicxx.sh to mpiicc and 
mpiicpc which are our mpi wrappers for mvapich 1.7 which is tuned into our 
version of the intel 12 compilers.

Try it without the mpicxx option first, though.  -Jim
