  Description     : Synfig extended template library

ETL is a multi-platform class and template library designed to add new
datatypes and functions which combine well with the existing types and
functions from the C++ Standard Template Library (STL). It is developed and
used by the Synfig Studio development team.

etl already was in Debian, but was removed together with synfig from the
package archives (bug #612070). Dmitry Smirnov <onlyjob at fsf member org> has
recently updated the etl, synfig and synfigstudio packages to the latest
upstream and standards versions, and he and I would be willing to maintain the
package in the future. Upstream is active (the latest upstream version was
released in February 2012). The GCC 4.5 FTBFS mentioned in the mentioned bug
report is fixed. Both of us tested the packages on Debian unstable and have not
found any problems yet.
