  Version         : 1.8.2

  Description     : UI C++ utility library

A toolbox-like C++ library, with a diverse set of utilities:

  * Exception: Generic Exception classes and THROW macros.
  * Sys: C++ "exception" wrappers for a wide range of system C functions.
  * Cap: Capabilities C++ wrapper.
  * CharsetMagic: Charset guessing.
  * Recoder: Charset recoding.
  * Time: Misc date and time utilities.
  * File: Misc file utilities.
  * Text: Misc string utilities.
  * http/: Minimal HTTP implementiation.
  * PosixRegex: Simple wrapper for C 'regexec'.
  * QuotaInfo: Wrapper to fs quota information.
  * SMLog[Mono]: Syslog Macro Log.
  * Socket: Simple Socket abstraction (inet+unix).
  * Thread: Process based pseudo thread abstraction.
  * CmdLine: Create CLI-like programs.
  * GetOpt: Abstraction of GNU C getopt_long(3).

As said, a big variety of tool-like functionality all around
C++, grown over time. Some of the code have arguably been
obsoleted by boost and/or newer C++, but most of it is still
useful.

This will be needed to provide continued support for sp-gxmlcpp
(already in Debian) later (which has been renamed ui-gxmlcpp,
and now depends on ui-utilcpp).

Hth,

Stephan
