Extracts the full compiler path and feeds it to cmake.

Previously, specifying the compiler name with a variable
to configure ("configure CC=gcc") lead to CMake complaining
that <builddir>/$CC was not a valid path. This patch fixes
this by extracting the full path with "which <compiler>".
Should fix issue #355.
substituted which with command -v.
Change which test for cmake28 to use command -v.
Test for executable and preserve erroneous path for messages

If an alternate compiler is specified, then check if this is actually
executable before assigning it so that we don't end up with specifying
an empty name to CMake. If the path does not exist, it will be preserved
so that CMake will complain with an easily identifiable error message.
Detect OS version when running on RHEL/CentOS 5.x

These versions only have /etc/redhat-release, not any of the newer
files.
Test variables instead of contents

If you test the contents of a variable, this is not necessarily true
in CMake (since the contents here is a path, and not a variable name;
the default test is "does this variable exist", not "is this a non-
empty string" like in shell script)
Don't set a default search path; use CMake's default

If we set a default search path ourself, then this will be used if we
specify a SuiteSparse_ROOT with error! Instead, we should just leave
our SuiteSparse_SEARCH_PATH variable empty and then let CMake fill in
its defaults. If there is a directory specified on the other hand
(indicating that we want exactly that location), only use that and
turn all the default paths completely off.
Allow use of uppercase version of the _ROOT var

The convention is to use uppercase names, in particular our own
./configure script uses this, so we should at least allow it here
(in addition to the old way for backward compatibility)
Add special variable for MultiArch-unaware components

Some components are not yet MultiArch-aware and installs to either
lib/ (Debian) or lib64/ (RHEL) on 64-bit platforms. If we need to
interface with these components, then it is nice to have such a
variable set together with the regular detection code.
Use MultiArch-unaware path for dune.module

As of 2013-09 the DUNE code that reads dune.module is not MultiArch-
aware. Thus, for a 64-bit platform it will look in lib/ on Debian and
lib64/ on RHEL.
Improve troubleshooting for missing dune.module

If the library is found, but dune.module is not, we really should give
an error because the #ifdefs in the code will not work as intended.

Print the locations where we expect the library to appear to the console
for better tracking.
Improve detection of dune.module

Remove lib/.libs/ and lib64/ as well as lib/ to find the prefix for the
installation root.
Update the CMake cache to reflect current settings

During configuration some of the values for CMake properties (compiler
flags etc.) may be changed either by the user (through command line
parameters or option files), or by the configuration script itself
(setting more aggressive options or detailed debugging for instance).

This change writes many of the relevant values back into the cache so
they are available for introspection (using e.g. ccmake) or when the
rerunning the configuration without specifying all options.
Fix logic bug and make language explicit

The operator precedence in CMake can be surprising, so add parenthesis
to make in unambigious. Also, make it more explicit from which language
we get the default options. (They are all set from the settings given
for C++; why would have different optimization options for C and C++?)
Clear default flags in an (im)proper way

The CMAKE_NOT_USING_CONFIG_FLAGS option is really only settable by a
user that doesn't want _DEBUG or _RELEASE flags to not have effect.
If we want other flags than the platform default, we must do hairy
things like clearing them from the cache (overriding the user's
seletion if it was the same as the platform default).
Honor the CMAKE_NOT_USING_CONFIG_FLAGS settings

If this is set, then everything is lumped into CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS since
that is the only one that is going to be used when building anyway.
Search for dune.module in private installations

When doing a private install of DUNE libraries, the dune.module file
is put in the lib/ directory, regardless of architecture.

This patch searches the lib/ directory as a catch-all after having
searched the platform-specific directories. This should minimize the
chance of hitting an accidentally unrelated dune.module.
add opm-core to the ewoms prerequisites
remove the dune-istl from the list of opm-material prerequisites

the only reason dune-istl was required was that the spline class used
ISTL's tridiagonal matrix. Since the spline class moved into the core
(along with a more capable tridiagonal matrix), ISTL is no longer
required by opm-material.
