Intent to package: MM



If nobody else wants to claim it, I'd like to package MM, a library
abstracting away the details of shared memory.  From the README:

  MM - Shared Memory Library
  Copyright (c) 1999 Ralf S. Engelschall, All rights reserved.
  Version 1.0.1 (18-Apr-1999)

  The MM library is a 2-layer abstraction library which simplifies the usage
  of shared memory between forked (and this way strongly related) processes
  under Unix platforms. On the first layer it hides all platform dependent
  implementation details (allocation and locking) when dealing with shared
  memory segments and on the second layer it provides a high-level
  malloc(3)-style API for a convenient and well known way to work with
  data-structures inside those shared memory segments.

The license is a simplified version of that for Apache.
