+ G+Smo (pronounced gismo or gizmo) is a C++ library for isogeometric
+analysis (IGA). Geometry plus simulation modules aims at the seamless
+integration of Computer-aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element
+Analysis (FEA).
+
+ G+Smo (Geometry + Simulation Modules, pronounced "gismo") is an
+open-source C++ library that brings together mathematical tools for
+geometric design and numerical simulation. It implements the
+relatively new paradigm of isogeometric analysis, which suggests the
+use of a unified framework in the design and analysis pipeline. G+Smo
+is an object-oriented, cross-platform, template C++ library and
+follows the generic programming principle, with a focus on both
+efficiency and ease of use. The library aims at providing access to
+high quality, open-source software to the forming isogeometric
+numerical simulation community and beyond.
+
+
+Optional building modes set with environment variables:
+ - QTAPP=yes : build the QT application
+ - OMP=yes : building with OpenMP
+ - MPI=yes : build with MPI support (requires mpich or openmpi)
+ - HYBRID=yes : OpenMP+MPI (requires mpich or openmpi)
+ - VTK=yes : use VTK, requires VTK package.
