[Libmesh-devel] NOX Configure Test

[Derek G. <der...@in...>]

It looks like someone (Ben?) moved the NOX configure test to be nested  
inside of the configure test for Trilinos.

The reason I didn't do this initially is that it's actually possible  
to use NOX without the rest of Trilinos.  In fact, you can even use  
NOX with Petsc Vectors!  Currently that's not possible with the way  
I've implemented NoxNonlinearSolver in libMesh... but I left the  
possibility open for configuring the library with NOX support and  
_without_ the rest of Trilinos hoping that eventually we could try to  
use NOX with Petsc vectors (NOX, in fact, supports many different  
numeric data structure implementations).

I'm not opposed to leaving it nested for now (since it _is_ required  
to have Epetra to use NoxNonlinearSolver for now)... but I just  
thought I would provide some insight into why I didn't do that in the  
first place.
