Description     : C utility library libtingea for MCL and zoem

Long description:

cimfomfa is used by both MCL, a cluster algorithm for graphs, and zoem,
a macro/DSL language. It supplies abstractions for memory management, I/O,
associative arrays, strings, heaps, and a few other things.
The tingea library comes with some testing programs.

BTW, the mcl code is maintained at public repository
https://github.com/micans/mcl .

Or maybe zoem (debian-science), mcl (debian-med) and cimfomfa could all be
maintained by https://salsa.debian.org/math-team .  Since these packages will
now share dependencies, maybe that would work best.  Or would it be better to
move zoem from debian-science to debian-med?  Andreas Tille, Shayan Doust: any
opinions?

Bye,
