Having version.hpp throw an exception when built against a malformed version number (due to, eg, not having the git tag available in an automated package build from source bundle) results in _init_ failing during an otherwise apparently successful dlopen(), as well as the netgen-mesher executable crashing before hitting main(). This patch both forces an abort and prints a helpful message alerting the builder/user that something went wrong instead of handing over either a coredump or a weirdly malfunctioning library with no apparent cause. Hopefully this will avoid a repeat of automated Fedora builds shipping nonfunctional Netgen RPMs for several years!
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.
