Good day,

I have adapted gmsh to use tetgen
(http://tetgen.berlios.de/) as mesh generator.

I have seen it on your TODO list, if you are interested let
me know, however my work is pretty experimental (hacked
in one day) and due to the lack of time probably remains
such.

I did not consider holes in, or refining of mesh.
I not an gmsh expert and I found it poorly documented, so it
is possible that I have done some things wrong, although it
works for me.

Tetgen is much faster 250k tetrahedra in 25s on P4 2.5Ghz,
and it seems more robust.

Bye

so I won't bother you with patch
