CAMD:  a set of routines for permuting sparse matrices prior to
    factorization.  Includes a version in C, a version in Fortran, and a MATLAB
    mexFunction.

Requires SuiteSparse_config, in the ../SuiteSparse_config directory relative to
this directory.

Quick start (Linux or MacOSX):

    To compile and install the library for system-wide usage:

        make
        sudo make install

    To compile/install for local usage (SuiteSparse/lib and SuiteSparse/include)

        make local
        make install

    To run the demos

        make demos

Quick start (for MATLAB users);

    To compile, test, and install the CAMD mexFunction, cd to the
    CAMD/MATLAB directory and type camd_make at the MATLAB prompt.

Description:

    CAMD is a set of routines for pre-ordering sparse matrices prior to Cholesky
    or LU factorization, using the approximate minimum degree ordering
    algorithm with optional ordering constraints.  Written in ANSI/ISO C with
    a MATLAB interface.
