Neat! This will allow us to package Mir for Debian. At the
moment, there is nothing using Mir in Debian (obviously) and
nothing using it is planned for packaging, but adding it might
be useful still, since it can also - with some limits - be used
from non-D code.
Looks like that only betterC projects are good enough to become
Debian packages. Generally because of the have stable C ABI that
does not depend on D compiler version at all.
Maybe we can pack Mir Optim, what is the proper way to do it?
Its features:
* stable betterC API/ABI, C/C++ headers
* two times faster then Alglib for multiple (heavy) curve
calibration (recent release)
* allows to use user specific threads through C API, while free
version of Alglib is strictly single thread.
I only worry about potential name clashes with Mir (the display
server) in Ubuntu ^^
Interesting, say libmir-optim(-dev) (I don't think we will have a
lot of betterC packages)
