   Ok guys I wasted several days because people persist in using sqrt() in PETSc code! DO NOT DO it. Use PetscSqrtReal() or PetscSqrtScalar() because sqrt() does not work with quad precision.
   Peter,  please fix the six million sqrt() in the nonlinear solvers like ngmres
   Jed, please fix the sqrt() in the ODE integrators
   Shri,  I think I fixed all the sqrtt()s you put into the vectors but please do an etags search for any left.
