+ Modularity

Libglacier-ng is, by default, incredibly modular. The default featureset is very
minimal, but modules are available for installtion. These modules allow for features
such as HTML reports, remote package deployment, and more. Keep in mind that the
more features you have installed, the larger the attack surface is. The default
featureset should be sufficient for 99% of users.

+ Installation

Libglacier-ng is provided by default as multiple shared object files (.so).
Static compilation at this time is not possible because glacier-ng, which is primarily
written in Lua, requires shared objects.

Libglacier-ng depends on the following libraries:

	~ libconfig
