+ libglacier

The underlying C libraries for the Glacier package manager

+ Rationale

Glacier has been written in Bash since its conception. For obvious reasons, this is terrible for portability.
While writing an entire library for a project that's been in the works for a year at this point will take
much more time, it should futureproof Glacier and make it easier to deploy and test.

+ Usage

	#include <glacier_config.h>
	#include <glacier_log.h>
	#include <glacier_pkgops.h>
	#include <glacier_runtime.h>

See the relevant documentation for more information on libglacier functions.
