We're discussing introducing a 64 bit-build for the computational
stack. This refers to 64-bit addressing to cells in meshes, etc.

BLAS is already 64-bit enabled.

For the 64-bit environment to work, it needs to be carried through all
along the library stack, from BLAS to PETSc.

MUMPS is in the middle.

Probably we want 2 separate builds, 32-bit (the current libmumps-dev)
and a separate 64-bit libmumps64-dev.

Opening this bug to track the chain of 64-bit package dependencies.
