Description:

This story is to do an initial adjustment (mostly an extension) the set of Primary Tested (PT) TPLs to include HDF5, Netcdf, Boost, SWIG and any others needed to fully build and test packages like SEACAS, STK, etc. This initial set of packages and TPLs will be limited to what is provided by the SEMS Dev Env (see #158 (closed)). Otherwise, some packages that could be included based on that set of TPLs should otherwise be excluded from the set of PT packages as guided by the needs of important Trilinos customers and critical research efforts (which are need to be well protected). Purely exploratory software or packages without important current users uses should generally be excluded from the PT set (to speed up the builds and tests). Also, non-critical configurations (e.g. complex, float) should be avoided to speed up builds and testing.

This initial story will be to support the usage of the checkin-test.py script to update from the 'develop' to the 'master' branch (see #370 (closed)).
