1) I updated the CosmosPP reader with some enhancements from Patrick
   Fragile where he added support for the new output format where the
   grid functions are in one file and the node positions are in another.
   I added a blurp about the change to the release notes and added
   Patrick's name to the list of contributors. This resolves #1703.

2) I updated the version number in several files to 2.7.2.

3) I updated the script that creates the checksums to the new name we
   are using for the Mac dmg file.

1) I modified bv_mpich to build MPICH 3.0.4 instead of 3.0.1 since it 
   fixes a bug building MPICH on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. I added a 
   note to the release notes about this change. This resolves #1708.

2) I modified bv_mpich to pass the variables CFLAGS, C_OPT_FLAGS, CXXFLAGS, 
   and CXX_OPT_FLAGS to configure so that the MPICH it builds works with
   Uintah. These additional flags were added specifically to pass -fPIC 
   to the compiler, but any other flags set in those variables should be 
   passed as well. I added a note to the release notes about this change. 
   This resolves #1710.
