   MatSNESMFRegister - Adds a method to the MatSNESMF registry.

   Synopsis:
   MatSNESMFRegister(char *name_solver,char *path,char *name_create,int (*routine_create)(MatSNESMF))

   Not Collective

   Input Parameters:
+  name_solver - name of a new user-defined compute-h module
.  path - path (either absolute or relative) the library containing this solver
.  name_create - name of routine to create method context
-  routine_create - routine to create method context

   Level: developer

   Notes:
   MatSNESMFRegister() may be called multiple times to add several user-defined solvers.

   If dynamic libraries are used, then the fourth input argument (routine_create)
   is ignored.

   Sample usage:
.vb
   MatSNESMFRegister("my_h",/home/username/my_lib/lib/libO/solaris/mylib.a,
               "MyHCreate",MyHCreate);
.ve

   Then, your solver can be chosen with the procedural interface via
$     MatSNESMFSetType(mfctx,"my_h")
   or at runtime via the option
$     -snes_mf_type my_h

   MatCreateSNESMF - Creates a matrix-free matrix context for use with

   Collective on SNES and Vec

   Input Parameters:
+  snes - the SNES context
-  x - vector where SNES solution is to be stored.

   Output Parameter:
.  J - the matrix-free matrix

   Level: advanced

   Notes:
   The matrix-free matrix context merely contains the function pointers
   and work space for performing finite difference approximations of
   Jacobian-vector products, F'(u)*a,

   The default code uses the following approach to compute h

.vb
     F'(u)*a = [F(u+h*a) - F(u)]/h where
     h = error_rel*u'a/||a||^2                        if  |u'a| > umin*||a||_{1}
       = error_rel*umin*sign(u'a)*||a||_{1}/||a||^2   otherwise
 where
     error_rel = square root of relative error in function evaluation
     umin = minimum iterate parameter
.ve

   The user can set the error_rel via MatSNESMFSetFunctionError() and
   umin via MatSNESMFDefaultSetUmin(); see the nonlinear solvers chapter
   of the users manual for details.

   The user should call MatDestroy() when finished with the matrix-free
   matrix context.
