  Description     : Check whether some example programs can be compiled and built

  The `check-build` tool can be used to build and test different
  programs in a temporary build directory. The programs are listed in
  a TOML configuration file, along with the commands to build and
  test them.

A bundled copy of the check-build library is used in the libzstd
autopkgtest to make sure that the C library's -dev package contains
enough files so that a program that uses the library can be built.
It will be removed in the next libzstd upload as soon as this package
hits the archive.

I will maintain this package as part of the Debian Python Team.
