function mesh = AddPML( mesh, numcells, CoordSystem )
%mesh = AddPML( mesh, numcells, <CoordSystem>  )
%
% Adds equidistant cells to the specified directions of the simulation
% area. This is used to put a PML (perfectly matched layer) absorber there.
% Remember: this function only adds space for the PML, the boundary
% conditions need to be set correctly to really add PML material.
%
% The mesh is sorted and duplicate lines are removed.
%
% input:
%   mesh:     mesh structure
%     .x:     1xn vector (lines in x direction)
%     .y:     1xn vector (lines in y direction)
%     .z:     1xn vector (lines in z direction)
%   numcells: 1x6 vector (xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,zmin,zmax) with number of
%             cells to add to this direction
%
% output:
%   mesh:     new mesh
