Defining my own reordering method for ILU

[Laslo Tibor Diosady]

Hi Barry,

If I understand how this works then I need to create a function 
MatOrdering_MyOrdering(Mat mat,const MatOrderingType type,IS *irow,IS
*icol)

My problem is that in order to compute my matrix ordering I need data
other than the matrix as input. 

I can't see how I can do that if those are the only four arguments
passed to the function.

Thanks,

Laslo
