It appears to be written in C++, which makes it hard to bind to from
Haskell. I did not see any C bindings for it (though, I probably did
not look too hard). So, given the choice of writing a C binding for it
so I could call it from Haskell, or just reimplementing it in Haskell,
I opted for the latter -- and got neither done :)
