Hi,

For your information, I tried hard to get Mark's contribution working fine
but I failed because of the many dependencies on which this smesh version
relies. I didn't manage to cut off the dependency upon VTK, and I gave up:
I don't want the small smesh addition to pythonocc require 2 or 3
additional dependencies.

Regards,

Thomas
