This is Debian/GNU Linux's prepackaged version of James Ashton's 
compface utility, which provides 48x48x1 image compression 
and decompression to allow the inclusion of face images within 
mail headers using the field name `X-face: '.

Following the debian policys James Ashton's original package is 
split up into several binary debian packages:

      libcompfaceg1-dev   - libc6 devel
      libcompfaceg1       - libc6 runtime
      libcompface1-altdev - libc5 devel
      libcompface1        - libc5 runtime
      compface            - user tools

They are all created form a single source package libcompface.

This package was put together by me, Hakan Ardo 
<hakan@debian.org> from the sourcecode I obtained from
ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pub/faces/compface/compface.tar.Z. I have 
applyed the compface patches found in the exmh-1.6.9-2 package:

compface.patch:
The compface.patch file has a patch that teaches the compface
and uncompface programs how to read .xbm format (X bitmap) files,
instead of the arcane .ikon files it used before.

And I have made som changes to the Makefile to compile and link the 
library sharead added adding support for the Debian package maintenance
scheme, by adding various debian/* files.
