Tobias Grosser 52a25237d8 Import isl(+imath) as an external library into Polly
With this patch Polly is always GPL-free (no dependency on GMP any more). As a
result, building and distributing Polly will be easier. Furthermore, there is no
need to tightly coordinate isl and Polly releases anymore.

We import isl b3e0fa7a05d as well as imath 4d707e5ef2. These are the git
versions Polly currently was tested with when using utils/checkout_isl.sh. The
imported libraries are both MIT-style licensed.

We build isl and imath with -fvisibility=hidden to avoid clashes in case other
projects (such as gcc) use conflicting versions of isl. The use of imath can
temporarily reduce compile-time performance of Polly. We will work on
performance tuning in tree.

Patches to isl should be contributed first to the main isl repository and can
then later be reimported to Polly.

This patch is also a prerequisite for the upcoming isl C++ interface.

Plaintext

isl is a thread-safe C library for manipulating sets and relations
of integer points bounded by affine constraints. The descriptions of
the sets and relations may involve both parameters and existentially
quantified variables. All computations are performed in exact integer
arithmetic using GMP.
isl is released under the MIT license, but depends on the LGPL GMP
library.
Minimal compilation instructions:
./configure
make
make install
If you are taking the source from the git repository, then you first
need to do
git clone git://repo.or.cz/isl.git
./autogen.sh
For more information, see doc/user.pod or the generated documentation.
New releases are announced on http://freecode.com/projects/isl
If you use isl, you can let me know by stacking
https://www.ohloh.net/p/isl on ohloh.
For bug reports, feature requests and questions,
contact http://groups.google.com/group/isl-development
Whenever you report a bug, please mention the exact version of isl
that you are using (output of "./isl_cat --version"). If you are unable
to compile isl, then report the git version (output of "git describe")
or the version included in the name of the tarball.
If you use isl for your research, you are invited do cite
the following paper and/or the paper(s) describing the specific
operations you use.
