- There will be triangles rendered inside the mesh (when
surface-rendering), because one of the cell's triangles is defined
as a quadrangle in VTK_WEDGE.
- Therefore, this VTK_WEDGE representation is only used when
decomposing the mesh, otherwise the correct representation is done
by VTK_POLYHEDRON.
- Furthermore, using VTK_PYRAMID gave worse result, because it renders
2 triangles inside the mesh for the collapsed quadrangle, likely due
to mismatch with the adjacent cell's face.
- Using VTK_HEXAHEDRON was not tested in this iteration, given that it
should give even worse results, when compared to using VTK_PYRAMID.

Resolves bug-report http://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2099
Now the functionality to write single graph files or log files (vs time)
may be used in the creation of any form of functionObject, not just
those relating to a mesh region.
Until C++ supports 'concepts' the only way to support construction from
two iterators is to provide a constructor of the form:
template<class InputIterator>
List(InputIterator first, InputIterator last);
which for some types conflicts with
//- Construct with given size and value for all elements
List(const label, const T&);
e.g. to construct a list of 5 scalars initialized to 0:
List<scalar> sl(5, 0);
causes a conflict because the initialization type is 'int' rather than
'scalar'. This conflict may be resolved by specifying the type of the
initialization value:
List<scalar> sl(5, scalar(0));
The new initializer list contructor provides a convenient and efficient alternative
to using 'IStringStream' to provide an initial list of values:
List<vector> list4(IStringStream("((0 1 2) (3 4 5) (6 7 8))")());
or
List<vector> list4
{
vector(0, 1, 2),
vector(3, 4, 5),
vector(6, 7, 8)
};
replace system() call with vfork/exec combination (issue #185)
Tested systemCall function object, dynamicCode, but should be rechecked with IB+openmpi

ENH: OSspecific - softlink handling (fixes#164)
Links are followed in most cases, with some notable exceptions:
- mv, mvBak:
renames the link, not the underlying file/directory
- rmDir:
remove the symlink to a directory, does not recurse into the
underlying directory
See merge request !51
- the checking for point-connected multiple-regions now also writes the
conflicting points to a pointSet
- with the -writeSets option it now also reconstructs & writes pointSets
The normal library system() command uses 'fork', which causes
problems on IB+OPENMPI.
STYLE: add Foam:: qualifier to system calls to make them easier to spot.
Provides efficient integration of complex laminar reaction chemistry,
combining the advantages of automatic dynamic specie and reaction
reduction with ISAT (in situ adaptive tabulation). The advantages grow
as the complexity of the chemistry increases.

Two tutorial cases are currently provided:
+ tutorials/combustion/chemFoam/ic8h18_TDAC
+ tutorials/combustion/reactingFoam/laminar/counterFlowFlame2D_GRI_TDAC
the first of which clearly demonstrates the advantage of dynamic
adaptive chemistry providing ~10x speedup,
the second demonstrates ISAT on the modest complex GRI mechanisms for
methane combustion, providing a speedup of ~4x.
More tutorials demonstrating TDAC on more complex mechanisms and cases
will be provided soon in addition to documentation for the operation and
settings of TDAC. Also further updates to the TDAC code to improve
consistency and integration with the rest of OpenFOAM and further
optimize operation can be expected.
