Description
    This distribution builds and installs libraries for the (experimental)
    "2.0.x" branch of the FLTK GUI toolkit.

Synopsis
        use Alien::FLTK;
        use ExtUtils::CBuilder;
        my $CC     = ExtUtils::CBuilder->new();
        my $source = 'hello_world.cxx';
        open(my $FH, '>', $source) || die '...';
        syswrite($FH, <<'') || die '...'; close $FH;
          #include <fltk/Window.h>
          #include <fltk/Widget.h>
          #include <fltk/run.h>
          using namespace fltk;
          int main(int argc, char **argv) {
            Window *window = new Window(300, 180);
            window->begin();
            Widget *box = new Widget(20, 40, 260, 100, "Hello, World!");
            box->box(UP_BOX);
            box->labelfont(HELVETICA_BOLD_ITALIC);
            box->labelsize(36);
            box->labeltype(SHADOW_LABEL);
            window->end();
            window->show(argc, argv);
            return run();
          }

        my $obj = $CC->compile(source               => $source,
                               extra_compiler_flags => Alien::FLTK->cxxflags());
        my $exe = $CC->link_executable(
                                      objects            => $obj,
                                      extra_linker_flags => Alien::FLTK->ldflags()
        );
        print system($exe) ? 'Aww...' : 'Yay!';
        END { unlink grep defined, $source, $obj, $exe; }

Methods
  "include_path"
        my $include_path = Alien::FLTK->include_path;

    Returns the location of the headers installed during the build process.

  "library_path"
        my $include_path = Alien::FLTK->library_path;

    Returns the location of the private libraries we made and installed
    during the build process.

  "cflags"
        my $cflags = Alien::FLTK->cflags;

    Returns additional C compiler flags to be used.

  "cxxflags"
        my $cxxflags = Alien::FLTK->cxxflags;

    Returns additional C++ compiler flags to be used. to compile C++ using
    FLTK

  "cxxflags"
        my $cxxflags = Alien::FLTK->ldflags(qw[gl images]);

    Returns additional linker flags to be used. This method can
    automatically add appropriate flags based on how you plan on linking to
    fltk. Acceptable arguments are:

    "static"
        Returns flags to link against a static FLTK library.

        *FLTK's license allows static linking, btw.*

    "gl"
        Include flags to use GL.

        *This is an experimental option. Depending on your system, this may
        also include OpenGL or MesaGL.*

    "images"
        Include flags to use extra image formats (PNG, JPEG).

  "revision"
        my $revision = Alien::wxWidgets->revision;

    Returns the SVN revision number of the source "Alien::FLTK" was built
    with.

  Dependencies
    File::Spec::Functions
