Bugs fixed in 0.4.1modified_by_mm:
====================
* this release version is wrong and someone should try to insert other older
  changes, I have applied changes to a .tar.bz2 0.4.1 version, later
  I have had cvs login and to submit this version I did a
  cp -R mydir lastcvs, but in this way changes between 0.4.1 and the
  last are lost, please fix this !
* In this version I added support for reading
  netgen meshes for tetraedra functions
  readNetgenMesh(), saveNetgenSolution()	(MM)
  there is an usage example in testsuite/test_netgen
* You can do a 'grep -r meneghin .' to see some
  changes that I applied, fixed some bugs. Do you agree about 
  strongerFlag(),weakerFlag() ?
  On amd64 UInt and Index_t if = int are 4 bytes, if = size_t are 8 bytes
  giving a cast problem in AZ_transform (MM)
* NOTE: if you have problems compiling try autoconf before (MM)
