[petsc-dev] CMake-assisted CUDA builds ready

[Karl Rupp]

Hi Dave,

thanks for the log-files and the testing. CMake hangs during it's 
startup and thus runs into a timeout. Maybe this is related to the bug 
Jed found in CMake 2.8.10.2, I have no other explanation why this hangs. 
I'll try to reproduce this as soon as I' at a CUDA-enabled machine again.

Best regards,
Karli
