-      In order to generate partitionings of triangulations, we have
-      functions that
-      call <a href="http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~karypis/metis/index.html"
-      target="_top">METIS</a> library. METIS is a library that
-      provides various methods to partition graphs, which we use to
-      define which cell belongs to which part of a triangulation. The
-      main point in using METIS is to generate partitions so that the
-      interfaces between cell blocks are as small as possible. This
-      data can, in turn, be used to distribute degrees of freedom onto
-      different processors when using PETSc and/or SLEPc in parallel
-      mode.

-      As with PETSc and SLEPc, the use of METIS is optional. If you
-      wish to use it, you can do so by having a METIS installation
-      around at the time of calling
-      <code>./configure</code> by either
-      setting the <code>METIS_DIR</code> environment
-      variable denoting the path to the METIS library, or using the
-      <code>--with-metis</code> flag. If METIS was installed as part
-      of <code>/usr</code> or <code>/opt</code>, instead of local directories
-      in a home directory for example, you can use configure
-      switches <code>--with-metis-include, --with-metis-libs</code>.

-	On some systems, when using shared libraries for deal.II, you may get
-	warnings of the kind <code>libmetis.a(pmetis.o): relocation R_X86_64_32
-	  against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared
-	  object; recompile with -fPIC</code> when linking. This can be
-	avoided by recompiling METIS with <code>-fPIC</code> as a compiler
