[petsc-users] hypre support

I was eventually able to make it run adopting a very small time-step 
(Courant number of about 1).

So either my problem is not well solved by AMG, as you said, or I am not 
using it very well.

But I guess I should be able to take it from there.

Thanks again for the support!
