LibGFF
======

This is an attempt to perform a simple "libraryfication" of the GFF/GTF parsing
code that is used in [GFFRead](https://github.com/gpertea/gffread)
codebase.  There are not many (any?) relatively lightweight GTF/GFF parsers
exposing a C++ interface, and the goal of this library is to provide this
functionality without the necessity of drawing in a heavy-weight dependency
like SeqAn. *Note*: This library draws _directly_ from the code in GFFRead and
[GCLib](https://github.com/gpertea/gclib), and exists primarily to remove 
functionality (and hence code) that is unnecessary for our downstream purposes.
In the future, it may be appropriate to just replace this library wholesale 
with GCLib.
