I need some of the routines which I can only
find in this package, so I made a port for it.
http://www.nist.gov/itl/math/mcsd-software.cfm

The cmlib package has not been updated since 1992 I think.

It uses quite a lot of obsolete Fortran, but GCC
can deal with this.

At present the port installs all  of the cmlib
package. HOwever, some of its components are available
via other existing ports, e.g. math/blas or math/eispack.
There are probably also common components with math/slatec
(I did that port a while back, so can't remember the exact
details right now, but probably quadpack is already available
in slatec and in cmlib).

I'd like to work towards a set of tightly integrated Fortran\
libraries on FreeBSD, ideally making sure all GAMS categories
are available via ports. This probably is a separate large
project, but is a worthwhile goal in my opinion.

Or maybe not...

Anyway, I'd like to hear your feedback, if you are
interested in this.

Anton
