If I understand correctly, Danesh intends to use an external package (MKL)
for the ILU on the real part. That will work fine with PCShell. His setup
function will pull out the real part of the matrix, put it into an MKL data
structure, and do the factorization. Then the apply function will take the
input vector apart, solve with the MKL factorization, and put the result
back together in the output vector. A bit awkward perhaps, but it should
work fine.
