hypre is required for parallel MFEM usage and hypre requires MPI. Both of these have been added as dependecies. MPI is added as a dependency in the same manner as boost (i.e. with an install script which checks for system installation and provides a way that the user can initiate a system installation). The MPI install script has been incorporated with the mk script. Hypre has been added as a subproject.
