Comment:
This package contains the MIX development toolkit.
MIX is a hypothetical computer used by Donald knuth in his book [The Art Of Computer Programming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Computer_Programming). He chose it for his book in order to avoid having his work labeled as a book meant to learn x86, MIPS, or any other existing architecture at the time, as he thought the concepts taught were applicable to programming as a whole.
MDK is a toolkit by the GNU project implementing standard tools such as a MIXAL compiler, a VM, a debugger, etc...
It's purely for educational purposes, back in UNI a project had us write a compiler that would translate a simple language to MIXAL, and so I made use of this package.
If you do not wish to include it that's fine.
