You probabably want to do:

./config/configure.py --with-mpi-dir=/cygdrive/d/MPICH2 --with-cc='win32fe cl' --with-fc=0 --with-cxx='win32fe cl' --with-clanguage=cxx --download-c-blas-lapack=1

Check installation instructions for additional info. If you encounter
further problems - send us the corresponding configure.log to the
address petsc-maint at mcs.anl.gov [not to the users list]
