seems like this code was _never_ used

the last two arguments. (no more default values)

   - member isThere is now public. It is used in BoostMatrix pattern construction
   - added member isThere to MixedPattern so to make its interface compliant with the requirements of BoostMatrix constructors

fixed tons of warnings thanks to GCC (3.3) and new warnings in configure

it comes from bug fixes and improvements that I
made to version lifev-0.4.1.tar.bz2 (not CVS)
cause I had not CVS access when I began.
so this version doesn't include all your changes made between
0.4.1 and the last one.
Anyway this includes support for reading netgen meshed and writing
netgen solutions, a test_netgen in testsuite and many bug fixes.
I hope it's all ok, becouse I simply copyed over a checkedout version
my files recursively. If you have problems compiling you could try
autoconf at the beginning. Bye

- avoids copying of index arrays which is not needed for reading access
- avoids invalidation of temporary copy

* enhanced documentation
(second part)

* enhanced documentation

Some pollution: I need these overloading to commit a first release of DG-FEM test, but they will be cancelled out when the new version of pattern (or whatever it will be) is ready (see C. Winkelmann's mail on life-dev mailing list).

 * indent only with spaces(no tabs) : 4 spaces
 * ansi C/C++ format
 * break bracket from preblock (ie { on newline)
 * spaces around operators and parenthesis

now the code should way easier to read !
it could be that some places got uglier but overall it should
be much better

* more C++ standard compliance. unfortunately there are still lots
 of construct that are non standard (e.g. int v[size] where size is variable)
* fixed a lot of template specialization
* removed all ; after } (except for classes of course)
* tons of work remains to be done before LifeV can be fully compiled
  with g++-3.4. most lifesolver won't compile for example

it seems that there is some dead code in there (otherwise it would not have _NEVER_ compiled!)

fixed C++ compliance

* added "std::" and "__gnu_cxx::" where needed in headers in life/
* added "using namespace std" where needed in source files in life/
  and in all files in testsuite/
* if this causes any problems, you should try one of these solutions:
  1) add "std::" or "__gnu_cxx::" where needed
  2) add "using namespace <whatever>;" in a source file or in testsuite
  3) uncomment the commented using directives, which may be found like this:
     grep "//using namespace" -r *
  prefer 1) over 2) and 2) over 3). Avoid 3). Really
  if you choose solution 3), do NOT check it in!

* translated non-english comments to english

  new private method _buildPattern(...)
* fixed some typos and compiler warnings

* improved documentation slightly

everything has been embedded in this namespace. It took me some while to do that
I would appreciate if people do that automatically for new code/files

I tried also to cleanup a bit:

- using namespace std; : I tried to get rid of it but I stopped after lifecore
                         too much work to do for now
- minor fixes here and there

I tried to solve some of it. I hope to have corrected exactely.
