ganovelli 35d0e58149 [SIMPLEXplus promotion]
This modification removes the old way to define simplexes (already deprecated and unsupported).
In the following SIMPLEX = [vertex|edge|face|tetrahedron]

All the stuff that was in vcg/simplex/SIMPLEXplus/ has now been promoted to vcg/simplex/

Details:
- the folder vcg/simplex/SIMPLEX/with has been removed
- the file vcg/simplex/SIMPLEX/base.h has been renamed into  vcg/simplex/SIMPLEX/base_old.h 
- the content of vcg/simplex/SIMPLEXplus/ has been moved into vcg/simplex/SIMPLEX/
- the folder vcg/simplex/SIMPLEXplus/ has been removed

Actions the update the  code using vcglib:
replace <vcg/simplex/SIMPLEXplus/*> with  <vcg/simplex/SIMPLEX/*> in every include
for MESHLAB users: already done along with this commit

--- Synopsis ---

TriMeshInfo is a tool designed to inspect 3D models and retrieve all the 
topological related information. It can be used to automate the process 
of decoding 3D mesh inherent properties and ease data classification 
and retrieval. 


For each analyzed dataset the following information are extracted: 

* Number of Vertices 
* Number of Faces 
* Number of Edges 
* Number of Connected Components 
* Number of Boundaries 
* Number of Isolated Vertices (i.e. Unreferenced)
* Number of Duplicated vertices (duplicated vertices are referenced vertices
                                 which have the same positon in the space)
* Manifold 
* Genus (computed only for Manifold Datasets) 
* Self-Intersection (currently computed only for Datasets with less than 3M faces) 
* Orientability 
* Orientation
* Regularity (We consider REGULAR those meshes that have 6 incident edges
  for each internal vertex, and 4 incident edges for each vertex on the 
  boundary. In all other cases we consider the mesh irregular.)
* Volume
* Attribute present on mesh (colors, texture coords etc);

The application has no graphical interface but works as the "Metro" tool on command line. 

TriMeshInfo is written in C++ and makes use of the VCG library. 
The tool supports the following file formats:

  - PLY (http://vcg.sourceforge.net/img/wiki_up/plyformat.pdf)
  - OFF (http://www.geomview.org/docs/html/geomview_41.html#SEC44)
  - STL (http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/dataformats/stl/) 
  - OBJ (http://www.eg-models.de/formats/Format_Obj.html)


--- Command-line Reference ---

Usage:

    TriMeshInfo <mesh> [options]

Valid options are the following:

    -q Quiet (disable verbose mode that is enabled by default)
    -x Enable XML output
    -h Enable HTML output
    -s <filename> Save the clean mesh

The HTML output creates in the directory where TriMeshInfo is launched a file
called "result.html". This file contains an hmtl table with the retrieved 
mesh information. 
If this file is just present in the working directory the output of the TriMeshInfo 
is added to the existing table. In this way it is possible to summarize the results
obtained from several meshes.

If you choose to save the "clean" mesh, the mesh without its unreferenced vertices
and with the duplicated vertices merged is saved.
