I guess one can do 'export PATH=$PATH:$PETSC_DIR/PETSC_ARCH/lib' to get the dll

But somehow It doesnt' work for me.

Also - I'm not sure this [dll] change should go into petsc-3.4. Since
--with-shared-libraries=1 is the configure default - now petsc-3.4
users will get a dll - that requies a PATH to be set [for it work]

Also - how is this supporsed to work? I set PATH - but still get errors..
