\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.
