New description:

 This spkg does the following:
 1. it compiles cliquer not only as an executable, but also as a library --
 here I can't help but notice that the patches do to likewise in debian
 look more complete [http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=debian-
 
science/packages/cliquer.git;a=tree;f=debian/patches;h=dd20b2cb0ea811e0036506c1468cc39367ec027e;hb=HEAD
 see here] (and remember than when the header of a debian patch doesn't
 mention forwarding to upstream -- that means it was!)
 2. it modifies the api by making parse_input exported (non-static) -- was
 this forwarded upstream?
 3. it adds new functions, only for sage -- that code doesn't belong to
 this spkg but to sage itself!
 4. it uses `make` instead of `$MAKE`.
