What about adding Trilinos as a first-class package, independently of
Xyce?  The package names could be “trilinos” and “trilinos-parallel”.

However, Trilinos raises its own set of issues: it’s actually a set of
50 packages, which we’d rather provide as separate packages:

  https://trilinos.org/packages/

Do you know which ones are useful to Xyce?

Thoughts?
