[petsc-dev] patch for batched config

[Satish Balay]

I never understood --host option of autoconf - and it would rarely
work for me.

For packages where '--with-batch --download-package' did not work -
our suggstion so far was to install them manually.

I'm hesitant to add this patch [it might work on one setup - but not
the other?] - but Matt/Jed might have better suggestions.
