config.sub and config.guess

These files are provided in the autoconf distribution. They are used to determine the host operating system, cpu, etc and put them into a canonical form.

The files distributed with Cactus are slightly modified to allow recognition of the Cray T3E, to work with the Portland compilers under Linux, and to not do something stupid with unrecognised HP machines.
