  /* \brief Create a new LinearOpWithSolveFactory object given a typical
   * forward linear operator and a typical solve criteria.
   *
   * \param  typicalFwdOp
   *           [in] A typical forward linear operator that represents the types of
   *           operator that will be used to solve linear system.
   * \param  typicalSolveCriteria
   *           [in] A typical solve criteria that will be used to solve for linear
   *           systems.
   * \param  typicalSolveUse
   *           [in] Determines how the solver will be used.
   * \param  solveStrategy
   *           [out] The LOWSF object that was determined to be the best suited for solving
   *           the typical system given above.
   * \param  initialLOWS
   *           [out] The LOWS object that was created that is consistent with the returned
   *           solve strategy.  If <tt>initialLOWS->get()==NULL</tt> on return then there is no
   *           such object returned.
   * \param  setupTime
   *           [out] The amount of time it took to setup the solver <tt>*initalLOWS</tt> before
   *           a solve was performed.
   * \param  solveTime
   *           [out] The amount of time it took to solve a typical linear system for the
   *           returned <tt>*initalLOWS</tt> object.
   *
   * ToDo: Finish documentation!
