[Users] Problem with compiling Einstein Toolkit on Cray system

[L.S. Oswald]

In fact that's what I tried originally, but I realised the commands only 
work if you're compiling on Queen Bee, not any other supercomputer. 
Google tells me that the Queen Bee supercomputer has been retired, so I 
wouldn't be able to obtain an account on it in any case.
