 I just discovered that Gmsh was available in MacPorts: this is great!

 Could I suggest the following changes to the configuration when you
 upgrade to Gmsh 4.2.0, which we just released?

  * remove the MPI dependency: MPI support is useless for regular users
 (it's only used internally for specific research projects)

  * remove the PETSc and SLEPc dependencies: these are not necessary
 anymore, and the official Gmsh 4.2.0 release builds have also removed them

  * if possible, enable OpenMP: meshing algorithms are now parallelized,
 and enabling OpenMP will benefit most users

 Cheers,

 Christophe
