[petsc-dev] Experimental GNU make build system

[Satish Balay]

Looks like it can will work on windows.

For one it doesn't like gcc options like -MDD. [gives warnings] - so I removed that.

And  - cl [or win32fe?] is not liking empty LOCDIR for "-D__INSDIR__=${LOCDIR}"
so I removed that.

The build with 'make -j 8' goes through quickly until:

  CLINKER /home/balay/petsc.clone/arch-gmake/lib/libpetsc.so

[so a static library target will perhaps fix this issue]
