      PortSystem 1.0
      Name: giblib
      Version: 1.2.4
      Category: graphics devel
      Platform: darwin
      Maintainers: cs.dartmouth.edu:tristan
      Description: Utility library for lists, strings and imlib2.
      Long Description: giblib2 incorporates doubly linked lists, some string functions, and a wrapper for imlib2. The wrapper does two things. It gives you access to fontstyles, which can be loaded from files, saved to files or defined dynamically through the API. It also, and more importantly, wraps imlib2's context API.
