Re: Bug#411053: ITP: libnexus -- library supporting the NEXUS scientific data file format

["Rudi Cilibrasi" <cilibrar@gmail.com>]

Dear Charles,

Thanks for this alert.  I have reviewed the website and software a
bit.  It looks like perhaps one day it could become another
alternative Debian package to my own which would be nice.  I think the
logical name for the other library, the "Nexus Class Library", would
be libncl.  This would handily avoid conflict with libnexus.  Thanks
again for your input,

Rudi
