Libwibble collects the foundation code that has been used over time in various c++ projects by peter rockai and enrico zini, so that it can be maintained properly and in a single place.

the code has minimal dependencies, a test suite, and can be used either as an external library or embedded in projects based on either cmake or autotools.

the library contains:
* an exception hierarchy;
* various useful mixin classes;
* shortcuts for set operations;
* a featureful self-documenting commandline parser that also supports
cvs/svn-style subcommands;
* two different unit-testing system, a tut-based and a custom one;
* a non-intrusive polymorphic envelope;
* a logging system;
* string functions, like splitting, path manipulation, regular
expressions and word wrapping;
* system functions, like directory iteration, file manipulation, process
control, thread functions;
* gregorian calendar operations.
