libslirp is a user-mode networking library used by virtual
machines, containers or various tools.

NOTE:
This package has some history of a unique kind:
- originally developed as 'slirp' by Danny Gasparovski, and
seemingly abandoned (developer /disappeared/)
- then re-maintained at sourceforge by "Kelly", up to some
time around 2009: http://slirp.sourceforge.net/
- during that period, QEMU (Fabrice BELLARD) forked the code
and included it in QEMU
- and it was imported from this breed by the Spice project
around May 2009 which archived it in 2012
- So we switched to
