Is that hard? Basically a slightly different inner product. A- 
orthogonalization gives L2 minimal residuals. (Under the ordinary  
inner product the residuals are minimal in the A^{-1} norm)

That might be true since BiCGS is based on the ordinary Lanczos / BiCG.

Hm. Why not do an A-orthogonal BicGstab. Hold on. Let me grab some  
scrap paper.....
