we should actually not allow it, as it makes no sense. 

we should reserve the additional matrices to implement other (e.g. vector) 
interpolation schemes

rewrote Compound interface in terms of standard elementary entities

Warning: this is work in progress and *will* break some existing examples (negative numbers etc.)

single file IO)

TWO BIG WARNINGS:

1) The MSH file version has been bumped from 2.1 to 2.2 because if a
mesh has partitions, the meaning of the tags has changed. Tag 3 used
to be the partition id; now tag 3 contains the number of partitions
(self+ghosts, if necessary), and the next tag(s) contain(s) the
partition(s) id(s). Ghost partitions have < 0 ids. The (new) default
behaviour is to not save partition numbers by default if there are
none.

2) There is an issue for split-file IO (one file per partition), due
to our on-the-fly renumbering of the elements (we would need a global
pass+store an inverse multimap to have the correct ghost element
numbers in a split-file scheme). The problem comes from the multiple
physicals -> multiple copies of the same MElement* in the MSH file +
our refusal to store an index in MElement. We need to discuss this
before we implement split-file IO in parallel...



PS -- I also changed the way we write binary files. We now save blobs
of single elements. This is fully compatible with old versions, but
might slow down reading large files. I did not see any performance hit
on my machine, but this should be tested more thoroughly. Third party
codes can still write larger binary blobs if they want to, but Gmsh
itself now writes small blobs, which makes the writeMSH routine much
simpler.
