See documentation of the API for the routines in this library in:
api-userdocs/index.html
Most of the routines in this library are .pro code that can easily be added
to IDL_PATH, but there are some routines that are written in C that should
be compiled. See ``INSTALL.rst` ` for instructions on how to build the C DLM's
in this library.
