  Dave,

   We currently have discrete adjoint computations for explicit RK methods and 
for implicit theta methods (backward Euler and Crank-Nicholson). The 
development copy of the users manual has some discussion 
(http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-master/docs/manual.pdf page 135) and there 
are several examples.   I urge you to try them out now in master and stay in 
contact with us to insure we provide what you need as we are actively 
developing them.  
We plan a release for early June.

  Barry
