[Users] more on the tutorial page

[Allen Gabrielle]

This is why the tutorial page uses the Queen Bee resource where we can  
ensure that everything works. We've already been talking with Erik  
about how we can have a more robust mechanism for users to compile on  
their own laptop (perhaps by suggesting particular MPI implementations  
and compilers) since that is still what people will want to do.

Jian, I can't see a difference between the thornlists that you  
mentioned, do we still have a link wrong somewhere? Can you point out  
explicitly where the difference is? I've added the revision number of  
the file in SVN to the thornlist to hopefully make it easier to verify  
what the version is.

It would be good to add the SVN version number to be embedded as a  
comment in the thornlist,
