Bugs fixed in 0.1.0pre4:
* Bug #8 : wrong (?) assert in regionMesh3D.hpp
* Bug #9 : updateElementFaces(true) requires updateElementEdges() first.
* Bug #15: data directory in testsuite

New in 0.1.0pre4:

* added lifecore/testsuite for small tests programs related to lifecore
* life libraries should be std:: clean. no more using namespace std::
  it is a very bad programming pratice in the long run
