I think I'm going to go with option 1.  The PETSc libs will be linked just 
fine, but other
system libs from MPI to BLAS are a total crap-shoot without the ability to 
import the variable
from an included makefile.  So much for cross-platform.

Leaving the list now, so please CC any replies to me.  Thanks for all the help.
