thanks (everyone) for the help, adding the include took care of the 
problem, I won't make that mistake again..

As for the inheritance change, that does make alot of sense, I am just 
not confident enough right now to implement this change with my newbie 
C++ skills.  I think I have a decent grasp on a postprocessing using 
ExplicitSystem so I'd like to start a DiffSystem section on the wiki and 
add this as an example.

Also, I'm using the Gnu Scientific Library to calculate the 
eigenvalues/vectors.  I have used this library alot in the past (years 
ago), is this the best way to go for my postprocessing tasks?
