The SMESH library is able to use the netgen mesher with OCC shapes.
*However*, the SalomeProject, from which is extracted SMESH, builds its
solution over an old release of netgen. Furthermore, there are an impressive
set of patches to apply to the original netgen code so that it can be used
with SMESH. As a consequence, it's so hard to compile SMESH with netgen that
it's almost impossible ("almost" meaning I never got it working!).

I really want pythonOCC and required dependencies to be easily compiled on
every platform : I've been working on a CMake based pythonOCC, and also
recently contributed a CMake build for SMESH and GEOM (both projects driven
by Fotis). I created a new branch, a few weeks ago, on the SMESH svn trunk
in order to make SMESH compile with the latest release of netgen(4.9.11). I
then plan to add netgen support in pythonOCC only when this work is done.

So, in the 0.4 release, netgen support is disabled, although all required
headers are ready (the ones you see in the 'contrib' folder).
