  Description     : tools for manipulation of Crystallographic Information Format v1.1 and v2.0 files

The package contains Crystallographic Information Format (CIF) v1.1 and
v2.0 parser (parser of CIF v1.1 is compared to other parsers in Merkys et
al. 2016, doi:10.1107/S1600576715022396) and scripts for manipulating CIF
files. Package includes CIF parser bindings for C, Perl and Python. Tools
from the package are used in the development and maintenance of the
Crystallography Open Database (http://www.crystallography.net/cod/, usage
described in Gražulis et al. 2009, doi:10.1107/S0021889809016690 and
Gražulis et al. 2015, doi:10.1107/S1600576714025904). The tools follow
the same filter-like usage pattern as Netpbm.

As I am an upstream author, I plan to maintain the package myself. As
this is my first submission, I will need a sponsor.
