Hi Anton, chasing up Scotch Metis compatibility, do you see any more
use at this point in time for METIS_mCPartGraphKway and
METIS_mCPartGraphRecursive ?

If I read the Metis history correctly, these functions appeared in
Metis v4 but were not in Metis v3, and have been removed again in
Metis v5.

Metis v5 seems to have simplified the API, there's only
METIS_PartGraphKway and METIS_PartGraphRecursive.

I imagine it's simpler for Scotch if they only need to provide
Metis v5 compatibility.
