minimize the number of files that include GmshVersion.h: it's annoying to
recompiletoo many files just because the version string changes

moved most OS-dependent functions in OS.cpp

- new button under the graphic window to temporarily disable mouse
  selection (speeds-up redrawing of very large models + permits to
  rotate/zoom-in a model in selection mode even when the whole screen
  is full of selectable entities--e.g. a surface mesh)

- new "lasso" selection mode (to select entities using the same kind
  of lasso as the lasso zoom: just Ctrl+click, then drag the mouse in
  selection mode; the shortcuts are the same as for the lasso zoom)

- it is now possible to unselect entities using the middle mouse button
  (only for the creation of physicals at the moment; not sure if it's
  useful in the other cases)

- new button in visibility browser to invert the current selection
  (very useful e.g. when multiple physical entities are associated
  with a given elementary entity, in order to "peel" away the model
  when adding new physicals; cf. philou)

- changed meaning of Escape shortcut (cancel lasso or toggle mouse
  selection) + restore standard fltk Escape handling for all dialog
  windows

- updated copyright string

- new mesh label mode (coordinates); all label types are now also
  available for mesh vertices

- added option in 'Print Option' dialog to disable printing of help
  strings

- added a comment string with the date when creating a new file

- new snapping grid for adding points in the GUI

Don't reinitialize the symbol tree in OpenFile.

(We don't reinitialize the option database, so why should we reinitialize
the variables? Using a single global symbol tree we can again define
variables with -string "" on the command line.)

use it now with -partition N for N partitions
only works with tets and triangles
output should be added (useless for now)

simpler tetgen integration by Jozef Vesely

generalized the solver interface to allow permanent listening on a
socket for whoever wants to connect (gmsh -listen)

the polling should also be less CPU hungry in this new version

next step is to add new commands to the protocol so that solvers can
directly transmit data to merge (geometry, mesh, etc.) in addition to
messages and filenames

compile tetgen by default so we get feedback on machine-specific problems

All modifications are commentarized because
this feature is not functionnal : the transfer from
Gmsh to Tetgen is OK, but the transfer from Tetgen to
Gmsh is not : all the mesh (points, lines,
surfaces, volumes) must be recreated in Gmsh...

removed limit on number of file names allowed on the command line

better help string for '-combine'

change the behavior of "-string string" command line option to match the
bahavior of "-option file"

Merged patch from Matt Gundry <mjgundry@faa-engineers.com> to support
the structured Plot3d mesh format.

copyright update

Small aesthetic changes:

- Only 'title-capitalize' window titles and menus; the rest should be
  capitalized like normal english sentences

- The window title should be exactly the same as the menu item
  (without the ellipsis character if there is one)

- new parser function GetValue("text", default_value) to query a value
  interactively in a script

- added a nice example using this (to compute slices automatically):
  demos/multislice.script

This patch fixes an old design flaw in the post-processing module,
namely that we used a list of Post_View objects instead of a list of
pointers to Post_View objects in CTX.post.list.

This had many annoying consequences, in particular the fact that we
needed to be extra careful every time the list was reallocated (as
pointers to the list elements would become invalid).

I tried very hard to change the code everywhere it should be changed,
but I might have missed something. Please let me know if you see
anything suspicious (like a crash when you duplicate/remove/combine/...
post-processing views).

Better handling of '-psn_XXX' command line arg. from the Mac Finder

cosmetic

cleaned up View->Combine by defining a new option (to determine if
we should remove the original views after a "Combine" or not)

add -pid command line option to print the process id on stdout

update command line help

added optimization hooks in the interface (GUI + comamnd line)

Merged Netgen 4.3.1: a Delaunay/Frontal 2D/3D mesh generator.

Thanks a lot to Nicolas Tardieu for this!

- mesh.algo -> algo2d and algo3d
- replaced most of the remaining radio buttons with Fl_Choices (requires
  less screen real estate)

create the default project file in the home directory if no "current"
directory is defined (e.g. when double-clicking on the icon on Windows/MacOS)

removed old unused options

- generalized vertex array class to use reallocatable arrays

- introduced vertex arrays in post for all triangles: this speeds
  things up tremendously for ALL scalar views: 2d scalar views of
  course, but also for 3d isos (tets, hexas, etc.) and all smooth
  normals. The costly computations (compute the isos, get the normals)
  are only done ONCE each time the view is changed. Then we just pass
  the vertex array to OpenGL everytime we need to redraw (e.g. when we
  rotate the scene)

- removed the display list code alltogether: it's completely blown
  away by the new vertex array code!

for the record: with the new drawing code, you can

- rotate 500,000 triangles in real time on a 3-year old linux PC
(tested with a boing 747 surface mesh from CU: 10 times faster than
old code)

- display and rotate in real time 10 transparent+smooth shaded 3D isos
for a 1 million tet mesh (about 1 frame per second with the new code;
took tens of seconds with the old one)

Awesome :-)

removed unused geom.overlay option

removed unused geom.highlight option + small cleanup of the selection code

add 1 more verbosity level; bump default to 3

- removed context.default_plugin

- changed the main so that we load the plugins *before* we set the
  options (this way you can save your favourite plugin options in
  .gmsh-options, too)
