For the 'official' libraries you converted, I committed template/fp-lib-table.for-github. which you can help maintain. I added no cmake install support for it yet. But its in the source repo so it won't get lost on mailing list. I doubt if all our official libraries warrant the term 'official'. Some seem highly personal. Grouping and naming seem chaotic. I don't see leadership in this work, sorry.
