Metis

[John W. Eaton]

Is it possible to modify the Octave configure script to not use Metis
by default?  If so, and we modify configure so that it doesn't look
for Metis, then I assume the checks for SuiteSparse will fail if it
has been built in a way that requires Metis, correct?  In that case,
could the user specify libraries in a way that would allow building to
continue, but we would not be encouraging people to use Metis?
