[petsc-dev] every test example runs in a new directory with new test harness

[Satish Balay]

Perhaps the following could be converted into a single run script with
2 mpiexec commands.

>>>>>>>>>
  test:
    suffix: restart_0
    requires: hdf5
    args: -run_type test -refinement_limit 0.0    -bc_type dirichlet -interpolate 1 -petscspace_order 1 -dm_view hdf5:sol.h5 -vec_view hdf5:sol.h5::append
    args: -run_type test -refinement_limit 0.0    -bc_type dirichlet -interpolate 1 -petscspace_order 1 -f sol.h5 -restart
