[petsc-dev] install petsc on windows 10 with mpi

[Satish Balay]

Richard,

The current issue is with MS compiler build - with MS-MPI. WSL doesn't
help for this case. [assuming 'abaqus' requirement requires a native
build with MS compilers]

Wrt WSL/PETSc - yeah build goes through fine - but 'make alltests'
give random hangs/errors in MPI calls for me..
