LIBV is a library collection that contains a lot of reusable code.
Feature development is mostly on-demand, but most library were designed in a bottom-top manner. Documentation is sparse, but for most cases the strict conventions and code quality should be sufficiently high enough to be self documenting.
Most of the libraries in the collection are design complete and can be considered stable, but the collection prioritizes research and velocity over API stability.

The cmake script is not setup for proper installation of the library yet, only for development builds. To create a proper packaging I am waiting on the C++ packaging and dependency management ecosystem to evolve, but even without fully adopting the whole library collection, I made it available and open source, so it might help out some.
Building the libraries is possible with the usual CMake method except
during the first build the ext target has to be built to fetch the dependencies
(This step is only required for the first time and when the dependencies change).
