Log Message:
Initial import of libgfshare-1.0.5, a library which implements Shamir's
Secret Sharing Scheme, into the packages collection.

        In simple terms, this package provides a library for implementing the
        sharing of secrets and two tools for simple use-cases of the
        algorithm.  The library implements what is known as Shamir's method
        for secret sharing in the Galois Field 2^8.  In slightly simpler words,
        this is N-of-M secret-sharing byte-by-byte.  Essentially this allows
        us to split a secret S into any M shares S1..SM such that any N of
        those shares can be used to reconstruct S but any less than N shares
        yields no information whatsoever.
