+ The source tarball contains a partial copy of the LIBSVM package. However,
+ the corresponding library is available from the libsvm source package (or
+ rather the binary packages it builds). Therefore this code is not used and

+ code is, however, left in place, as it does not hurt and does not justify
+ repackaging of the upstream sources.
