  Description     : C code generator for the S-Lang scripting language

 SLIRP is a C code generator, aimed at simplifying the process of
 creating modules for the S-Lang scripting language. Using it can
 dramatically reduce the time and effort required to make C, C++, and
 FORTRAN code callable directly from the S-Lang interpreter.

 SLIRP can also generate Makefiles to automate the module build process,
 as well as pure C bindings for C++ code (cfront mode), or empty (stub)
 implementations for the interface(s) specified by its input. The code
 emitted in the latter two cases has no dependencies upon S-Lang
 whatsoever.

A preliminary version of the package is available at the apt-getable
repository:

   http://people.debian.org/~rafael/slirp

The package will be collectively maintained by the Debian JED Group
(http://pkg-jed.alioth.debian.org/).
