/*
     Implements a line search variant of Newton's Method
    for solving systems of nonlinear equations.

    Input parameters:
.   snes - nonlinear context obtained from SNESCreate()

    Output Parameters:
.   outits  - Number of global iterations until termination.

    Notes:
    This implements essentially a truncated Newton method with a
    line search.  By default a cubic backtracking line search
    is employed, as described in the text "Numerical Methods for
    Unconstrained Optimization and Nonlinear Equations" by Dennis
    and Schnabel.
