Kiwi is an efficient C++ implementation of the Cassowary constraint solving

algorithm. Kiwi is an implementation of the algorithm based on the seminal

Cassowary paper. It is *not* a refactoring of the original C++ solver. Kiwi

has been designed from the ground up to be lightweight and fast. Kiwi ranges

from 10x to 500x faster than the original Cassowary solver with typical use

cases gaining a 40x improvement. Memory savings are consistently > 5x.

In addition to the C++ solver, Kiwi ships with hand-rolled Python bindings.
