[svn-r10956]

Purpose:
Configuration feature

Description:
Added 'alias' for host names in configure.  Typing ./configure --host=tflops
will now configure with tflops as a host.  Previously, this required typing
./configure --host=i386-intel-osfl.

Solution:
Added a section in configure.in which will replace 'tflops' with
'i386-intel-osfl'.

Platforms tested:
sleipnir, mir, heping

Misc. update:
