Description: Computational Geometry Algorithms Library

CGAL is a collaborative effort of several sites in Europe and
Israel. The goal is to make the most important of the solutions and
methods developed in computational geometry available to users in
industry and academia in a C++ library. The goal is to provide easy
access to useful, reliable geometric algorithms.

Packager notes:
* With CGAL-3.2.1, the tarball has been pruned from documentation files with undecided license, in order to make packaging possible.
* A Debian package has been submitted, and has been accepted http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=251885
* Whereas the Debian packager choose to extract the core++ library and put it in a separate package, I choose to ship libcore++.a in the CGAL package. It could be modified, if needed.
* rpmlint shows several errors or warnings. Some of them come from the meta-package CGAL that requires all sub-packages.
* The -devel sub-package ships several static library. It is because upstream developers do not want to maintain SOMAJOR numbers for them, now, for libcore++.a, and libCGALQt.a
