Thanks for this - after adding in a test for FreeBSD to set OS and __OPSYS 
(this is still missing in the latest version of the configure script) and 
running configure, I found that MBUILD_SKEY in my ./include/moab-local.h 
was empty so I put in the same 5 digit integer as the Linux maui build 
apparently chose at random for 3.2.6p21 and everything now interoperates 
well.

Now to build 3.3 for Linux with the same pre-configured key.

cheers, Andy
