Summary description:  Drawing wordclouds with MetaPost and Lua

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 This MetaPost and LuaLaTeX package allows drawing wordclouds
 from a list of words and weights. The algorithm is implemented
 with MetaPost whereas Lua is used to parse LaTeX commands,
 to build the list of words and weights from a text file, and
 to generate MetaPost code interpreted by luamplib.

 This package is in beta version—do not hesitate to report bugs,
 as well as requests for improvement, or better:
 to help me to improve it.
