[petsc-users] Field split questions

[Satish Balay]

Barry - you forgot to commit/push the interface files in
src/ksp/pc/impls/fieldsplit/ftn-custom.

http://petsc.cs.iit.edu/petsc/petsc-dev/rev/40f9515d8b01

Perhaps this interface addition can go into petsc-3.3?

That patch [with a minor fix] can be easily applied to petsc-3.1 to
get the link working. [old iffy functionality is a different matter :)]
