[svn-r17568] Purpose:
Configure Fix Description: Modified configure to set FC and CXX to "no" when fortran and c++ are not being compiled, respectively. This will prevent configure from running some checks on these compilers when they are not being used. This fixes a problem that was occuring when FC and/or CXX are set to a nonexistant or invalid compiler. Even if the languages were disabled, a libtool test would fail, thus preventing libtool from properly linking any libraries, yet configure would not flag an error message due to this because the languages were disabled. Tested: - h5committest (jam, smirom, linew) - manually eyeballed configure output and logfile.

Configuration
-------------
+ - Configure will now set FC and CXX to "no" when fortran and c++
+ are not being compiled, respectively, so configure will not run
+ some of the compiler tests for these languages when they are not
+ being used. MAM - 2009/10/01
- The --enable-static-exec flag has been fixed and will now install
statically-linked executables within the install directory when used
on systems that support the -static linker flag.
