There are no tutorials, and almost no documentation. The best thing to look
at is TS ex11. This solves a bunch of different equations
(advection, shallow water, Euler) with a "pointwise" Riemann solver. Feel
free to ask questions about it. However, I acknowledge
that the learning curve is steep. I have put much more time into the FEM
examples. I will eventually get around to FVM, but feel free
to contribute a simple example (the TS ex45, 46, and 47 were contributed
FEM examples).

  Thanks,
