Depending on where you use PETSC_DIR - it should be set in the correct
notation. If you are constantly switching between cygwin & MSDev
project files - then its painful to depend upon the env variable.

I guess I should change the variable name in the projectfiles to
PETSC_DIR_WIN - so both variables can be set/used.

Since MS project files are not really portable - you might as well
remove $PETSC_DIR from them - and use the correct windows version of
the path in them..
