Awesome! Thanks a lot!

You know the interface with PETSc better than anyone else. If you feel 
confident that a change to aclocal.m4 is correct, go ahead and regenerate 
./configure and check it in. If it ends up breaking something, we'll find out.

I've changed that in the FAQ, thanks for the hint. Does this look correct:

http://dealii.sourceforge.net/index.php/Deal.II_Questions_and_Answers#Is_there_a_sure-
fire_way_to_compile_deal.II_with_PETSc.3F

(I really have no idea why they insist on making these unnecessary, 
incompatible changes that really do nothing but confuse people...)

Best & thanks
