Description: This package wraps some of the matrix exponentiation
        utilities from EXPOKIT (http://www.maths.uq.edu.au/expokit/), a
        FORTRAN library that is widely recommended for matrix
        exponentiation (Sidje RB, 1998. "Expokit: A Software Package
        for Computing Matrix Exponentials." ACM Trans. Math. Softw.
        24(1): 130-156).  EXPOKIT includes functions for exponentiating
        both small, dense matrices, and large, sparse matrices (in
        sparse matrices, most of the cells have value 0).  Rapid matrix
        exponentiation is useful in phylogenetics when we have a large
        number of states (as we do when we are inferring the history of
        transitions between the possible geographic ranges of a
        species), but is probably useful in other ways as well.
