I noticed the link to 'A detailed guide to installing dolfin' 
(http://www.fenics.org/wiki/A_detailed_guide_to_installing_DOLFIN) is 
removed from http://fenics.org/wiki/DOLFIN#Installation

However, it still shows up when googling for dolfin installation. So 
maybe it should be linked against something else?

Alternatively, it needs to be revised:
-new version of all packages
-no need to run bjam for boost (we only use header files)
-use openmpi instead of mpich
-add enable-shared=1 to petsc
-add externalpackages from petsc to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (as we make it 
download and install hypre and umfpack)
-use scons

Should we install umfpack ourselves instead of making petsc do it? Do we 
really need hypre?

If you provide me with some feedback I could go through this on a clean 
machine, update this, and add the link back to the dolfin page on the wiki.
