Description:

VIGRA stands for "Vision with Generic Algorithms". It's a novel computer vision
library that puts its main emphasis on customizable algorithms and data
structures. By using template techniques similar to those in the C++ Standard
Template Library, you can easily adapt any VIGRA component to the needs of your
application, without thereby giving up execution speed.

Note 1: I've been maintaining this and other packages in a 3rd party
repository which I'd like to migrate to Extras, so I need a sponsor.

Note 2: vigra is a dependency for the lprof package.

Note 3: This library gets statically linked to libtiff/jpeg/png.  I'd
appreciate pointers for getting it to link dynamically.
