  Description     : check that a library is available for FFI

 FFI::CheckLib checks whether a particular dynamic library is available
 for FFI to use.  It is modeled heavily on Devel::CheckLib, but will
 find dynamic libraries even when development packages are not
 installed.  It also provides a find_lib function that will return the
 full path to the found dynamic library, which can be feed directly into
 FFI::Platypus or FFI::Raw.

Package is needed for recent releases of libmessage-passing-zeromq-perl.

It will be maintained in the Perl team.
