Portable Channel Access Server and Generic Data Descriptor C++ libraries,
split off [EPICS Base 3.16.1](http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/R3-16/1.php)

This is a standard EPICS module. Create a file `RELEASE.local` (either inside
the configure directory or one directory level above the module's root) that
sets `EPICS_BASE` to where your EPICS installation is located.

To build the module against an existing older Base < 3.17, you have to
manually export the CA client library header file `net_convert.h`:
