[petsc-users] CUDA MatSetValues test

  MPI.py depends on cuda.py so we cannot also have cuda.py depend on MPI.py using the generic dependencies of configure/packages  

  but perhaps we can just hardwire the rerunning of cuda.py when the MPI compilers are reset. I will try that now and if I can get it to work we should be able to move those old fix branches along as MR.
