create/destroy name change proposal

[Devine, Karen D]

While we are changing names, let's clear up the confusion between "mesh
instance" and "mesh."  These functions don't create/destroy a "mesh"; they
create/destroy a "mesh instance" (i.e, a mesh database).  Many meshes can be
stored in a mesh instance, but we expect that in most cases, only one mesh
instance will be used.

How about
  iMesh_newMesh --> iMesh_createMeshInstance
  iMesh_dtor --> iMesh_destroyMeshInstance

Or, even better, following the example of iMesh_load and iMesh_save,
  iMesh_newMesh -->iMesh_create
  iMesh_dtor --> iMesh_destroy

Of course, I'd be happy to replace the word "instance" with "database"; any
takers? :)
