Jean-Francois: As-tu du faire des modifs dans Metis? Sinon, on pourrait aussi simplement linker avec Metis en externe. Si oui, ou si tu trouves que c'est bien d'avoir Metis directement dans nos sources, il faut que tu envoies un mail a Karypis pour demander son autorisation concernant l'inclusion. Voici un example tire de libmesh:
You can do that but be aware that metis/parmetis is not being distributed
under an open source license.

Benjamin,
Yes you can as long as you provide proper references and Metis's
original code and documentation.
Dear George,
regards,
For the past few years a colleague and I have been developing an open
source finite element mesh generator and pre-/post-processor
(http://geuz.org/gmsh/). We would like to distribute METIS (and
eventually PARMETIS) with the application. Can we do so?

Attention : si Karypis n'est pas d'accord pour une utilsation commerciale (il faut lui demander aussi), il faudra qu'on ajoute Metis a la liste des trucs a effacer dans le "make commercial".
