Help on installation of PETSC+prometheus on Cygwin

[Satish Balay]

These external packages are not tested on windows.

You could try removing the following code from 
/home/feap/Library/petsc-2.3.1-p5/externalpackages/ParMetis/parmetis.h
and see if it helps

#ifndef _MSC_VER
#define __cdecl
#endif


However I'll recommend using linux instead [due to all the external
package requirements]
