petscvariables: hardwired build dir instead of install dir

Barry, things are still broken. I think that at some point we have to
review the 'install:' target  more carefully.

First, the 'sed' command i being called in a wrong way.

Second, ALL files under $PETSC_ARCH/conf are being copied, I'm not
sure if all them are needed (logs, RDict.db, configure.py, etc) when
you 'install' PETSc in a central, system location.

Finally, 'sed' trickery is done under all files under 'conf/' and that
can be dangerous.


I attach a hg diff fixing some of that issues. But I still believe
that this have to be more carefully reviewed. Unfortunately, I will
not be able to do that myself for, let say, three month from now.

By using the patch in the attached file, I was able to install PETSc
and next build petsc4py. However, this does not necesarily means that
things are all OK. I already do some trickery in the build system of
petsc4py in order to 'fix' the problems with the stuff in PETSc
makefiles since version 2.3.2 until latest petsc-dev.
