[petsc-dev] Compiling ML on windows

[John Fettig]

I think I sent this to the wrong place, I've cc'd petsc-maint on this
reply which includes the patch.  There are a couple of other things
that have to be done that I couldn't include in the patch because I
believe it requires modifying the files used to generate the configure
script:

1) On windows, petsc expects libml.lib not libml.a and so the Makefile
has to be changed to build libml.lib.
2) I believe you can pass AR to the configure script, but in any case,
you need AR="$PETSC_DIR/bin/win32fe/win32fe lib -a" and
RANLIB=/usr/bin/true in the Makefile
3) You have to add "-DICL" to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS.
4) The patch I've attached, which changes sleep to Sleep and excludes
unistd.h when ICL is defined.  It also removes "--verbose" from the
things that configure tries, because the result isn't parsed correctly
(it makes configure think that "-link" needs to be added to the link
line, which is erroneous).

I believe those are all the changes I made.  I hope this patch can be
applied to the ml tarball so that windows users have a better shot at
using ml+petsc.
