What we had before was, if the PETSc configure failed fallback to looking 
specifically for MPI, the assumption being if you wanted PETSc certainly you 
want MPI.

What Roy didn't like was, if you don't ask for MPI, don't even bother with 
PETSc.

What we have now is,  if the PETSc configure failed do the MPI fallback unless 
--disable-mpi is passed.

That should work, which overcomes my objection that LIBMESH_HAVE_MPI should not 
get defined when --disable-mpi is passed.  So long as that is true, I'm not 
sure I care *how* PETSc is doing its own MPI thing...
