  Description     : Character-set detection library

LibGuess is a high-speed character-set detection library. LibGuess
employs discrete-finite automata to deduce the character set of the
input buffer. The advantage of this is that all character sets can
be checked in parallel, and quickly. Internally, LibGuess passes a
byte to each DFA on the same pass, meaning that the winning character
set can be deduced as efficiently as possible. LibGuess is fully
reentrant, using only local stack memory for DFA operations.
