Why should this be included in the repository?

Xyce is a SPICE-compatible analog circuit simulator similar to ngspice focused on parallel compute (usually this is for supercomputers, but I have to make do with my Threadripper).

I have a working build over on my fork. It requires rebuilding hdf5 with OpenMPI support (which means some tests fail because they require running on a parallel filesystem, but all the tests we were running before pass) and adding a couple dependencies. Happy to maintain this. I'll be doing it anyways for my own use.

Are we allowed to redistribute it?

GPL-3.0-or-later

What kind of user will use this package, and how many users do you think will use this package?

People interested in highly parallel / high speed circuit simulation, so pretty much anyone who has considered an IEEE membership at some point in their life.
