[Gmsh] versions higher then 1.53 do not work

[Alfonso Medina]

When I try a large OpenFlower .pos file it will start to load the 
velocity fields one step at a time, then it slows down to the point 
where it just hangs. I'm not sure if it just needs more time (hours on a 
3GHZ 2.5gig computer with excellent CAD opengl rated card). In any case, 
I use the cygwin1.dll that comes with the download. What is so special 
about it that you would want to keep an older version?
