TOPCOM for Debian
-----------------

We make several changes to the upstream package.

* Because of possible clashes with other packages in Debian due to common
  names (e.g., cube and cross), the prefix "topcom-" has been added to
  each of the binaries.  This is consistent with several other mathematical
  packages in Debian, e.g., 4ti2 and nauty.

* Upstream ships tarballs for the gmp and cdd libraries and always uses them
  when building TOPCOM.  We use a repacked tarball without these librarise
  and instead build with the corresponding Debian packages.

* We have added manpages, generated from the descriptions of the various
  commands and command-line-options in the manual.
