[petsc-users] set MUMPS OOC_TMPDIR

[Barry Smith]

  You should be able to call PetscOptionsSetValue() anytime you want, as I said between different uses of MUMPS you can call it to use different directories.

  Perhaps this confused you?

     Note:
   This function can be called BEFORE PetscInitialize()

  It is one of the very few functions that can be called before PetscInitialize() but it does not NEED to be called before PetscInitialize().

It seems there is such an API, am I correct?
