[petsc-dev] Need help compiling on Windows (Cygwin)

[Olumide]

Here's the result of my latest attempt:
./configure --with-cc='win32fe cl' --with-fc=0 
--download-c-blas-lapack=1 --download-mpich=1 --with-clanguage=cxx

Unfortunately, it didn't work. BTW, I'm using the Visual Studio command 
prompt, and cl works fine. I'd like to compile petsc for for linking 
with win32 libraries.

Thanks,

- Olumide
