[MOAB-dev] MOAB handles and processor rank

[Tim Tautges]

Sorry, my bad.  Look in ~tautges/MeshKit on mesh for some of them; using 
the ones with .h5m is your best bet.  I'm working on a milestone this 
week, but let's work next week on this.  These files also show some 
problems with the current reader.  I'm not certain they're only the 
reader's problem, might be problems with the mesh too.
