Re: Sundials lagging behind upstream

I've just pushed the changes. Some things though:

1. Upstream appears to have stripped nearly the entire code of the copyright of UC Regents, not sure what's going there...

2. The new matrix/solver libs refer to a (which one isn't specified) LICENSE file, but appear to not match any one. I've currently put them under the top level LICENSE (LLNL/LLNS), but that's doesn't match the top of the files (LLNS/SMU). Suggestions of how to handle that?

With the new sunlinsol and sunmatrix, what do the SOs depend on, it'd be nice to avoid having to bring in the whole mpi dependency tree when mpi isn't being used.

I just worked on this some more. The git repo now contains packages that
are buildable and installable and usable; I think. The examples all
build and run except

- the CUDA ones
- the superlu-mt ones (Debian doesn't ship this dependency)

I haven't looked at the copyrights. So James, when you get a chance to
push those updates, that'd be wonderful.

Other than that, the main remaining hurdle to pushing these into the
archive is figuring out what to do with sunlinsol and sunmatrix. My
understanding is that these provide some internal functionality. They
have a different ABI version than the rest of sundials, but the same as
each other. So I'm putting all these into a new libsundials-core1
package. Does this seem reasonable?

Past that, there're a few more issues that need to be resolved, but that
I don't think are blockers for us.
