Available patches

• fwbw_derivative switches the default spatial derivative from continuous to forward/backward difference.
  This generally reduces spurious oscillations in the result as the spatial accuracy of the derivative is then compatible with the underlying solution grid.

• PETSc-3.8 adjusts all includes and calls to PETSc to follow the 3.8.x API. This allows to use the most recent version of PETSc.
