From my experience\n  C libraries are scattered all over the web and discovery is relatively poor. The footprint of these libraries is usually quite large and unfocused. The goal of `clibs` is to provide\n  stand-alone \"micro\" C libraries for developers to quickly install without coupling\n  to large frameworks.\n\n  You should use `clib(1)` to fetch these files for you and check them into your repository, the end-user and contributors should not require having `clib(1)` installed.
