[Savannah-hackers] [Savannah] combine want to be a GNU package

[savannah-hackers]

Hi,

The following project was submitted to Savannah. It needs evaluation to
become a GNU package, can you give it a look, please ? 

Submitter: <address@hidden>
Project Full Name:  combine: File Matching and Filtering
Project System Name:  combine
License:  gpl
Approval URL: https://savannah.gnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=5599
Description: This is a project to produce utilities to work with files much as 
a database works with its internal structures.  The engine is combine (as in 
the havesting machine, but also nicely similar to join), which is the only 
portion written so far.  It uses hash tables to join 0, 1, or many files to an 
incoming file or data stream.  Additional features allow for hierarchy 
traversal, date comparison (adapted from the Emacs calendar functions), and 
extensions through Guile.  The current version can be found at 
http://www.theWorld.com/~dpv/index.html  My current employer (The Gillette 
Company) has approved its release (I wrote it on my own time).  There are 
similarities in function to a program I contributed to in FORTRAN for a former 
employer (which I had left more than 4 years before writing this version), and 
I am confident that there is nothing here subject either to copyright or 
confidentiality concerns.  Future direction for the project may include the 
addition of indexing, special treatment of sorted files, adaptation of the new 
Guile API, and auxiliary programs to increase ease of use.
