[petsc-dev] CMake-assisted CUDA builds ready

[Karl Rupp]

Hi Dave,

I also found that in some occasions one should issue
$> rm -rf PETSC_ARCH/CMake*
prior to running a reconfigure in order to circumvent a bug [1] in CMake.

@Jed, Matt: The current cmakeboot.py removes 
PETSC_ARCH/CMakeFiles/{version_string}, which does not seem to even 
exist on my machine (CMake 2.8.7). Can we instead just delete the whole 
CMakeFiles-folder and probably CMakeCache.txt?

Best regards,
Karli
