   \brief Library interface to the netgen meshing kernel
   \author Joachim Schoeberl
   \date 7. May 2000

   This header file provides access to the core functionality of the Netgen 
   Mesher via a library interface, without an interactive User Interface.

   The intention of providing these set of functions is to allow system 
   developers to integrate Netgen into top-level code, to act as the low 
   level mesh generation / optimisation kernel.
