The surfaces elements will have tags, that Gmsh will interpret as
surface numbers. You can then create a volume from the discrete surfaces
using the usual Gmsh commands.

(See my previous email to Cecile Giorla: this only works for volumes at
the moment; it's not possible to do this with curves or surfaces.)
