Summary:                    FindMPI script violates policy CMP0004
Description: 
The FindMPI script violates policy CMP0004. The following error occurs when
compiling the package dolfin in ubuntu 11.04:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:9 (ADD_EXECUTABLE): 
Target "cmTryCompileExec" links to item " -Wl,--export-dynamic" which has
leading or trailing whitespace.
This is now an error according to policy CMP0004.

Further investigation has shown that " -Wl,--export-dynamic" is being assigned
to MPI_LINK_FLAGS with a leading space.
This occurs in /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindMPI.cmake

The attached patch resolves this issue.
