There was an earlier discussion. The problem is, the library is not
open source. It is free of royalty, but you now have to register to
download it. Thus, the theory is, that anyone who wants to create an
STM product, should use the STM software after registering, and as far
as I read, they don't allow publishing their library.

By the way, the library is now deprecated, as they have a new system.
However, Codec2 is no where near compatible with the new library.

I also believe the Makefile is now obsolete, and we should be using
the cmake build. I have not gone with that in my testing, but I will
have to port the Makefile to cmake when the code matures, and the
sm700d is merged.
