[petsc-dev] Type mismatch warnings

[Barry Smith]

I think the two solutions are

1)  to have an interface for each object type (they could possibly all call the same fortran stub function (that won't have an interface definition so that the call inside the interface (for each object type) won't issue an error or warning. 

2) there is a way to use a * (I forgot the exact syntax in an interface to indicate anything can be pass through that variable) but it is not in Fortran 95 (I'm not sure when it was introduced) so it may not be portable enough.
