CoCoALib can use various "external libraries" to extend the range
of functions it offers. The function ExternalLibs produces a
list of the external libraries which have been compiled into
CoCoALib. Note that the GMP library is obligatory, and so will
always appear in the list.
There is just one function
ExternalLibs() produces a read-only vector<ExternalLibInfo>
Each entry in the vector corresponds to a single external library.
The ExternalLibInfo struct contains 3 fields (all have type std::string):
myName the name of the external library
myVersion the version "number" if available (or "UNKNOWN")
myWebsite the URL of the main web-site for the library
The implementation is not so pretty: it depends on the preprocessor
flags set in the file PREPROCESS_DEFNS.H. The library name is
the name I usually use when refering to the library. The version
number is whatever the library makes available (otherwise just the
string "UNKNOWN"). The URL was typed in by hand.
Some of the information about the library has been typed in manually.
