Removed the "search around point" strategy when we provide a background mesh.

(Now that we can have several fields, it's much better to specify another default
field for when a search fails.)

added adaptive view options in the view's option db

Detect when we have zero lc and fix it (+ send an error message)

fixed bug with tapered cylinders when using "filled iso-values"

new version from moitinho@civil.ist.utl.pt

limit char in [-127,127]

cleaner (?) char2float

debian fix, take 2: only apply for uname=Linux

trying to fix Debian bug (fltk-config does not return opengl libs anymore)

OCCFace::containsPoint() did not correctly take orientation of edge loop
into account (fixes bug reported by Jacques Kools about cross in OCC plane
faces not drawn)

commited. It allows to remove self intersecting meshes in
the 2d mesh generation process. It only applies now to
gmsh native CADs. Those limitations will quicky go away

make clear in docs that node/elemement tags should be > 0 (and not == 0)

- fixed remeshing of boundary layers when geo entities are constructed
using bnd layer points (no need to reload the file from scratch anymore
to avoid accumulating the transformations)

- patch load_gmsh.m for .msh version 2 (patch from Raoul)

- new load_gmsh2.m from the mailing list

added option to draw skin of 3D meshes

tweak color + add comment with default values from Solid Works and Catia (if
we want to imitate :-)

- made "light" color scheme the default
- lighter colors for "light" scheme

removed global THEM

(once more step towards nicer integration of old GEO stuff)
