Right, thanks for pointing this out (I need to RTFP :-).  So the source 
would become contrib, because some of the binaries would need contrib 
software to build on one platform.  But then, can I put the 
gcc/g77-built binaries in main?  Hmm, doubtful.

I guess the proper way to do this would be to assemble a separate 
contrib "petsc-dec" source package.  But then, the additional 
petsc_2.1.0.orig.tar.gz would take another ~7 megs on the mirrors!

So maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.  I'll just leave it 
as-is, with instructions for building the faster version with ccc/cfal.

Zeen,
