Sorry for breaking the buildbot, but I've had trouble with my own
personal buildbot not running at all so I couldn't test there first.
(And the thing that currently breaks works fine here with me.)

I'm not sure reverting now is a good idea since it is a big change
that is important for the book (cleanup of the Krylov methods and
preconditioner options).

It looks to me like something needs to be updated or rebuilt on the
buildbot. The unit test that fails on the buildbot (quadrature on cut
cells using CGAL) works fine here, and also for Andre. Maybe the
buildbot just needs a new installation of CGAL and/or boost?
