Does this thing need to be a PETSc vector (that is will you perform VecXXX
operations on it) or can it simply be an array. If it can be an array then I
would use MPI_Bcast() http://www.mpich.org/static/docs/v3.2/www3/MPI_Bcast.html.
Or you can use VecScatterCreateToAll(), note that the input Vec is kind of
funny because it must be defined as an VECMPI but has zero local entries on all
processes except the 0th process.
