[svn-r20475] Purpose:
- Revise shared Fortran library disabling scenarios in configure - Improve configure output summary Description: Shared Fortran libraries are not supported on Mac, but were being disabled by configure in a way that also forced the C libraries to be static-only. This has been fixed, so now only shared Fortran is disabled while shared C can remain. This prompted two additional changes: 1. While working on the check that addresses whether or not shared Fortran libraries are allowed, removed old and no longer needed check(s) that disable shared Fortran libraries with HP, Intel 8, PGI, and Absoft compilers. (Essentially, Mac is the only situation in which Fortran shared are disabled by configure.) 2. Having two different states of libraries (i.e. shared C library with static-only Fortran library) was not apparent in the configure summary, which labeled all libraries as either shared and/or static. I've added lines to both the C++ and Fortran output sections to list shared/static-ness of these libraries specifically. Additionally, I've made sure that the new --enable-unsupported configure option correctly overrides configure if it tries to disable a shared library. Tested: jam, fred, & h5committest

Configuration
-------------
+ - Shared C libraries are no longer disabled on Mac when Fortran
+ is enabled. Shared Fortran libraries are still not supported on Mac,
+ so configure will disable them by default, but this is overridable
+ with the new --enable-unsupported configure option. The configure
+ summary has been updated to reflect the fact that the shared-ness of
+ the C++/Fortran wrapper libraries may not align with the C library.

- Removed recognition of the parallel compilers of LAM(hcc) and
ChMPIon(cmpicc) since we have no access to these two MPI implementations
and cannot verify their correctness. (AKC - 2010/7/14 - Bug 1921)
