That's great.  Actually my comments yesterday don't really apply
anymore :( Even after I split everything up into separate
autoconfigured headers, the dependencies were still crazy.  (Doxygen
can generate nice graphical include dependency trees, btw.) The
additional work of splitting up libmesh_config.h is just not worth it
unless we address more fundamental issues (like enums, my god the
enums!) in the library.
