Well, actually I'd like to see DistributedVector retained as a leaf
class, even if we refactor the inheritance to supply new support for
distributed ghost dofs in the "trunk" above NumericVector.  Yay PETSc,
yay Trilinos, but I still kind of like the idea of having a bare-bones
parallel vector implementation that doesn't require a large third
party package to be compiled in.
