I'm skeptical about this approach of requiring HYPRE --
it tends to violate the spirit of PETSc.
The point of PETSc is that everything can be run from the command line
(or a shell script that has all the options).  Somebody might refuse to
download HYPRE because they won't register (I can't imagine anybody
with that attitude, but I've heard they exist) or because they have  
something
better or whatever.

Perhaps a nicer thing to do is have a script that checks for HYPRE  
and runs DOLFIN
accordingly, or else does some default thing.
