Add easyconfigs for SuperLU library

[besserox]

I have created these easyconfigs for the SuperLU library, which is not supported yet by EasyBuild.

@boegel Should I create an easyblock for SuperLU to hide all this complexity?

edit: depends on easybuilders/easybuild-easyblocks#860

Automatic reply from Jenkins: Can I test this?

[boegel]

Jenkins: ok to test

[boegel]

why not always build the shared libs?

[besserox]

By default, they build the static library, so I just left it like this. Also, it's exclusive, if you set BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON, it will build the shared library, and not the static one.

[boegel]

Well, ok...

EB has a way of dealing with that BTW:

configopts = [
    "-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF",
    "-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON",
]

but you'd to adjust more below (the += lines for configopts, and the installopts which is now specific to static libs

but fine, OK to leave as is I guess

[besserox]

What does this do? This make two builds and install them at the same place?

[boegel]

It will make EB go through the configure/build/install cycle two times, but keeping the same install target.

See the FFTW easyconfigs

thanks about this!
Although SuperLU is considered legacy, look how many might benefit from this PR:

• Provide popular PETTT ACE packages, ensure they are available as a bundle easybuild-easyblocks#85 ## PETTT users
• Provide popular HPC-BC packages, ensure they are available as a meta-module easybuild-easyblocks#86 ## HPC Baseline
• Implement support for popular software/modules on Cray platforms easybuild-easyblocks#111 ## Cray popular modules

and to be sure:

• http://hpcbios.readthedocs.org/en/latest/HPCBIOS_06-01.html#hpcbios-06-01
• http://eniac.cyi.ac.cy/display/UserDoc/LS2_06-01
• http://centers.hpc.mil/consolidated/bc/policies.php?choice=FY1301 ## which influenced most of the above collections!

so, thank you again
