-----------------------+--------------------------------
 In looking at the METIS Portfile, I noticed a some errors. First, the
 license is not correct. METIS is released under the Apache License,
 Version 2.0 (the Portfile has it listed as "Restrictive").

 Second, an openmpi variant is listed. METIS does not have an MPI variant;
 ParMETIS (which is a new port) is the MPI version of METIS. METIS does
 have support for OpenMP, though I think it requires downloading of a
 separate tarball. I have never used that capability, personally, so I
 can't speak to how it would be implemented in the Portfile.

 Finally, it appears the Portfile does not specify a compiler. I believe
 that, in that mode, CMake uses whatever compiler it finds first. I would
 like to start using METIS, but I would like to have some control over
 which compiler it uses. (Admittedly, it probably does not matter in a big
 way, since METIS is straight C code, but I would at least like to know
 which compiler is being used.)

 I would be willing to help maintain this port (I made the same offer to
 the ParMETIS port), but I am a complete novice when it comes to Portfiles.
