I think we should set up both PETSc and DOLFIN to do dynamic
linking. The size of a compiled DOLFIN source tree is now 1.8GB...
Even before with PETSc linked statically, the size was around 700MB.

Maybe we should start looking at using libtool? I don't know how to
use it, so I might need some help.

In the meantime, I will add a new target 'demo' to make and change so
that the standard target 'all' does not compile the demo programs.
(But then all maintainers must remember to do a 'make demo' before
checking something in!)

I will fix this after lunch and then the new version.
