[svn-r20502] Purpose:
Add "silent make" mode configure option. Description: Automake 1.11 has a new option available that allows for a silent make mode. This functionality needs to be explicitly enabled in configure.in via the use of the automake macro AM_SILENT_RULES, which is what this commit is adding. This introduces a new configure option: --{en|dis}able-silent-rules This option is on by default, and simplies compile and link line outputs when building the library. Disabling this option will print full "verbose" output (i.e., full compile and linking lines for each target). Tested: This was tested on jam & h5committested

Configuration:
-------------
+ - Configure now generates Makefiles that build in "silent make mode"
+ by default in which compile and link lines are significantly
+ simplified for clarity. To override this and view actual compile and
+ link lines during building, the --disable-silent-rules flag can be used
+ at configure time, or the 'make' command can be followed by V=1, to
+ indicate a "verbose" make. (MAM - 2011/4/14).
- Added mpicc and mpif90 as the default C and Fortran compilers for Linux
systems when --enable-parallel is specified but no $CC or $FC is defined.
