Cernlib is a suite of data analysis tools and libraries created for use in physics experiments, but also with applications to other fields such as the biological sciences.

this package includes the "cernlib" script that lists the command-line options needed for linking against cernlib libraries. the script has been rewritten from the upstream version to calculate dependencies recursively. also included are a contributed set of autoconf macros to test for cernlib libraries, and a set of imake macros to allow cernlib modules to be built out-of-tree.
