port to install SPOOLES library

[Mark Brethen]

The installation instructions for SPOOLES has this to say about multithreaded libraries:

To build a multithreaded library, one must go to the MT/src directory. Now we have two choices — to build a separate spoolesMT.a library, or two merge the multithreaded code into the spooles.a library. We recommend the first, via typing make spoolesMT.a, though the second is perfectly fine by typing make makeLib. If Perl is not installed, type make -f makeGlobalLib for the latter behavior.

Much the same applies to the MPI library. To build a MPI library, one must go to the MPI/src directory. Now we have two choices — to build a separate spoolesMPI.a library, or two merge the MPI code into the spooles.a library. We recommend the first, via typing make spoolesMPI.a, though the second is perfectly fine by typing make makeLib. If Perl is not installed, type make -f makeGlobalLib for the latter behavior.

Is there a preference for macports build (i.e. merge them or build separate)?

The MPI directory contains all source and driver code for MPI programs. The MT directory contains all source and driver code for multithreaded programs. All other directories contain serial code.2 The MPI source code is compiled into a spoolesMPI.a library. The multithreaded source code is compiled into a spoolesMT.a library. The serial code is compiled into a spooles.a library.
