To build and run the unit test programs, the following packages are needed:

Include <metalink/metalink.h> header file for public APIs:
#include <metalink/metalink.h>Please note that metalink_*_set_*, metalink_*_new and
metalink_*_delete functions in <metalink/metalink_types.h> will be
hidden from public API in the future release. The newly written
application should not use these functions. The existing applications
are advised to stop using these functions. If you want to hold the
modified data of Metalink, define application specific data structure,
and make a copy of parsed object.
