I checked the differences for cluster.h into the new CI repository. I 
didn't see any relevant differences for ssisys.h.

I've fixed this. I've made an attempt to make sure OpenSSI code is 
turned off if the files are just built for CI.

Excellent.

Isn't there a way to override this behavior if we had to? Nevertheless, 
I like your argument that 'make install' should install all of the 
OpenSSI utilities. I'm just concerned about problems passing 
configuration options to all the various third-party utilities.

I've put in a request for SF to do this.

Maybe we can put a simple Makefile.am in the root that passes along 
'make' and 'make install' to cluster-tools. This behavior would be even 
more useful in the OpenSSI repository.
