colamd:  An approximate minimum degree column ordering algorithm.  For
	use in Matlab 5.2 (replaces colmmd), and also the column pre-ordering
	for SuperLU in the ScaLAPACK library.  Computes a column ordering Q so
	that P(AQ)=LU and (AQ)'(AQ)=LL' (or LDL') have less fill-in than the
	unpermuted system.

symamd:  An approximate minimum degree ordering algorithm based on colamd.
	Only available as a Matlab mexFunction (replaces symmmd).  Computes a
	ordering P so that PAP'=LL' (or LDL') has less fill-in than the
	unpermuted system.

Usage:

	To compile and test the colamd m-files and mexFunctions, just start
	Matlab.  This will run the colamd_demo.m file.  See the colamd_demo.m
	file for more information.

	To use colamd within another application, all you need are colamd.c and
	colamd.h, which are the C-callable colamd codes.  Symamd is only
	available through a Matlab mexFunction.

Authors:

	The authors of the code itself are Stefan I. Larimore and Timothy A.
	Davis (davis@cise.ufl.edu), University of Florida.  The algorithm was
	developed in collaboration with John Gilbert, Xerox PARC, and Esmond
	Ng, Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
