[svn-r9287] Purpose:
Add recomendation that users add the "-qxlf90=autodealloc" flag to FFLAGS when building parallel on the IBM SP platform. Description: See above. Solution: Added the suggestion. Also cleaned up a few minor typos in passing. Platforms tested: none needed -- documentatin change only. Misc. update:
