Hi Gabe,

SuiteSparse which comes together with Julia includes a library KLU which 
does sparse LU factorization. It has the option to return the fill-in 
reducing order it manages to find for a given sparsity pattern. With this 
returned structure it can subsequently factorize many matrices (and solve 
equations). After some tinkering, I have got it to work, so it is possible.

If this is still an issue and using KLU fits the bill, I'll provide more 
details of my tinkering.
