The description seems pretty good. My initial tests seem to suggest it
requires an old version of libcdk that is no longer available in
Debian though:

=== cut ===
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes

Error
Sorry, this version of CDK can not handle empty lists.
You must downgrade to a version older than cdk-4.9.11-20031210

Hopefully there is a solution to this issue...
