I added this in AmberTools/src/configure2, that is the only
place where it makes sense to modify general flags such as
FFLAGS, CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS which influence all of the
applications built. In fact configure files are the only ones
which should require modifications (if at all) by users (given
proper build system).
These variables are set by configure and referenced by
Makefiles, so every change is propagated to them. And they are
propagated since I can make sqm to use any number of threads I
want by using omp_get_max_threads().
Obviously, your way is not the only way. I think we already
established that from the time Ross Walker worked with it the
code was changed in a way that it breaks OpenMP build.
