Most of the subclasses of MeshOutput don't write out files that
contain all the information in the EquationSystems object.  Doing so
would be impossible without adding features to all the visualization
programs we'd like to support, since we generally support a wider
variety of finite element spaces than they do.

Take a look at example 10; I think EquationSystems::write and
EquationSystems::read should do what you're looking for.
