We have the following support for adjoints. Roy/Paul please
correct/add/expand as you see fit.

Fully coupled or single-physics problems:
1) Adjoint refinement based error estimators (Global bounds for | Q(u) -
Q(u_h) |, Adjoint Example 4 )
2) Adjoint refinement based error indicators (Adjoint Example 4)
3) Adjoint Residual based error indicators (Has been there for a while)
4) Adjoint parameter sensitivity analysis and Hessians (Been there for a
while as well)

Future work:
1) Proper scaling for local error indicators for the Adjoint Refinement
indicator (this is almost done, needs some refactoring in the library to be
finally implemented)
2) Support for user specified adjoint boundary conditions +
DirichletBoundary (for boundary flux type QoIs)
3) We probably want something better than 'store primal solution' at every
timestep for time dependent adjoint problems (This might become a high
priority for me soon, so I might try implementing some kind of
checkpointing algorithm in the coming weeks.)
4) For one-way coupled problems, right now we force the user to write the
system as one block. We might want to allow the user more flexibility here.


Thanks.
