  Description     : library for the computation of the Voronoi diagram

Voro++ is a software library for carrying out three-dimensional computations of 
the Voronoi tessellation. A distinguishing feature of the Voro++ library is 
that it carries out cell-based calculations, computing the Voronoi cell for 
each particle individually. It is particularly well-suited for applications 
that rely on cell-based statistics, where features of Voronoi cells (eg.  
volume, centroid, number of faces) can be used to analyze a system of 
particles.  

Many codes make use of voro++ and the paper describing it has been cited 250+ 
times.  I propose to create a package that could be maintained by the Debian 
Astronomy Team.
