cc: The mailing list so that others may chime in.

Do you want me to replace scotch with ptscotch, or add ptscotch to the
list? And I removed the patch for slepc 3.2 because I don't think it is
necessary any more. Also, what platform are you on?

For the future, either of those avenues are useful:

 * If you know how to fix the problem, mailing a patch to the list or
merge proposal is the easiest for me to deal with.
 * If you don't, file a bug report. As tiny as it may seem, it better
ensures that your problem not to be overlooked.
