Defining my own reordering method for ILU

[Barry Smith]

  Laslo,

   You can do your ordering up front to generate an index set.
But you will still need to write a routine MatOrdering_MyOrdering() that 
returns the isrow and iscol, then register the routine
with MatOrderingRegisterDynamic(). Then use PCFactorSetMatOrdering()
to tell the PC to use your new ordering routine. 

To have the preconditioner reuse the reordering for several matrices
use PCFactorSetReuseOrdering(). 

  Good luck,

   Barry

I know it is a little strange to need to provide the call back function
MatOrdering_MyOrdering() that simply returns the ordering you already
created but that is the only way to get the ordering into the right
place inside the PC objects.

The MatOrdering_MyOrdering() simply sets the isrow and iscol pointer
and returns.
