Ok - I just committed the sparsity pattern stuff... and now you can use Trilinos to solve Example3!
I know there's still a lot of work (and cleanup) left to do... but it is technically working. One thing I know for sure is that it's probably leaking memory like a bitch ;-) I'll deal with that next week though ;-) Thanks for all the help everyone!
