Hi Simon,

Thank you for working on the Gmsh package.  There have been a great
many changes since the last update.

There is a distinction between METIS (free) and ParMETIS (non-free)
which may have influenced the decision to remove the whole metis
directory.  As far as I can see Gmsh does not use any files from the
ParMETIS library.  

There is only a parmetis.c file included in the metis directory. 
However, it is commented out in CMakeLists.txt.

Best regards,

Paul.
