Hi Simon,
Thank you for working on the Gmsh package. There have been a great
many changes since the last update.

There is a distinction between METIS (free) and ParMETIS (non-free)
which may have influenced the decision to remove the whole metis
directory. As far as I can see Gmsh does not use any files from the
ParMETIS library.
There is only a parmetis.c file included in the metis directory.
However, it is commented out in CMakeLists.txt.
Best regards,
Paul.
