README:

libpxmutils is a library that implements some housekeeping functionalities
that are used in the other library/modules of the polyxmass mass
spectrometry framework.

For example, libpxmutils contains a number of functions to convert
from string to gint/gdouble and conversely. Other functions are the
ones that implement the PxmUserspec object (it is a typedef'ed
structure, since GNU polyxmass is written in C and not C++).

Another example is the PxmProp object, which is an object that is used
throughout the polyxmass project to implement a trivial extensibility
system.
