description:
Automatically read parameters from the following files in increasing
order of priority:

  $HOME/.dolfin/parameters.xml.gz
  $HOME/.dolfin/parameters.xml
  parameters.xml.gz
  parameters.xml

The global parameter set will be *updated* with values found in
these parameter sets.

Not sure how the first two files work on a Windows system.

description:
Filter out PETSc argument when parsing command-line parameters.
The following should now work:

  ./demo <other options> --petsc.foo bar <other options>

provided the program in question parses command-line arguments by

  parameters.parse(argc, argv).

All arguments starting with "--petsc." will be sent to PETSc. In the
above example,

  -foo bar

will be sent to PETSc. (Note '-' instead of '--'.)

Other arguments will be parsed by the parameter set in question.

This only happens for the global DOLFIN parameter set (or any other
parameter set named "dolfin").
