The name of the 'netgen' executable collides with an older UNIX pcb trace routing application also named 'netgen'. Fedora, for this reason, renames this mesher package to 'netgen-mesher' and the executable, likewise, to 'netgen-mesher'. I propose the same change here. Ironically though, the current python module is already named 'netgen-mesher', which complicates loading of the module as 'netgen', often resulting in it being unfindable. For this reason, I similarly reverse the usage, renaming the python module from 'netgen-mesher' to 'netgen'.
Netgen mesh generator
NETGEN is an automatic 3d tetrahedral mesh generator. It accepts input from constructive solid geometry (CSG) or boundary representation (BRep) from STL file format. The connection to a geometry kernel allows the handling of IGES and STEP files. NETGEN contains modules for mesh optimization and hierarchical mesh refinement. Netgen 6.x supports scripting via a Python interface. Netgen is open source based on the LGPL license. It is available for Unix/Linux, Windows, and OSX.
