Description : DXT texture compression library
libsquish is a software DXT texture compression library. It
implements the 5 DXT flavours and has SIMD support for x86 (SSE) and
powerpc (Altivec). It can be used (as a much slower software
fallback) instead of the hardware implementations present on most
modern graphics chips.
This package is a build-dependency of Cavewhere
(https://github.com/Cavewhere, http://www.cavewhere.com), used because
using the hardware implementations has been unreliable in practice,
and speed is not critical here..
