[Gmsh] Connecting faces.

OpenCascade is the ONLY open source CAD kernel that I know of. Of
course it would be nice if Parasolid/Spatial were also open source.

At least some CAD companies could do like id software does in games
which is: exploit a technology commercially and then release old
versions as open source. Maybe a 6 year old parasolid version would be
better than what is available now.

Regards,

Billy.
