+New: Added support for the Open Asset Import Library (Assimp)
+(http://assimp.sourceforge.net/). This library can be used
+to read about 40 different 3D graphics formats, used in 3D
+modelers (such as Blender, Maya, etc.). Some of these formats
+contain mesh information, that in turn can be read
+into deal.II Triangulation<2,3> objects.
