For one - the interface most users are looking for is
--with-sequential - or --without-mpi - which '-with-mpi=0'
represents.. They don't know are care about mpiuni [so download-mpiuni
is not really better]

Also mpiuni is not distributed or built separately from petsc
sources/makefiles - and is akin to --with-sieve=1

Blas/lapack is not optional - hence no --with-blas-lapack=0 support.
