Can someone with a petsc installation pull from
    hg pull ssh://yourname@xxxxxxxxxx//home/martinal/hg/dolfin
and check that it compiles, that the tests run, and then push it?
I've done changes to uBlasVector and PETScVector but don't have petsc here...


I've implemented type casting with only references in the user
interface, which works like this:

void foo(GenericVector & gv)
{
  uBlasVector & v = as_uBlasVector(gv);
  ublas_vector & w = v.vec();

  // or:

  ublas_vector & u = as_ublas_vector(gv);
  ...
}

The as_* functions assumes that the input is of the correct underlying
type and triggers a dolfin error on failure. There's also an is_*
function:

  if(is_uBlasVector(gv))
    trigger_ublas_solver_for_example(gv);

I've implemented similar functions for PETScVector, but I didn't have
petsc installed here so I haven't tried to compile them.

Selecting good names for these are tricky, since we're dealing with
names like uBlasVector, ublas_vector, PETScVector, and (PETSc) Vec,
consistency is futile... Suggestions for better names?
