abstract: Wrapper and plotting utilities for the spatial population genetics tool
  'EEMS' (Estimated Effective Migration Surfaces) for SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)
  data, originally provided as a command-line tool written in 'C++' together with
  an accompanying 'R' package for plotting the output of the 'EEMS' tool itself (<https://github.com/dipetkov/eems/>).
  There are four main motivations for offering this to 'R' users as a package. Firstly,
  to remove the installation and configuration burden for the 'EEMS' command-line
  tool, which relies on manually installed 'Boost' and 'Eigen' system libraries and
  configuring their location; secondly, to streamline the workflow by having a singe
  environment (the 'R' system) for the entire analysis rather than a file-based command-line
  executable whose output files are then to be imported and analysed by a separate
  'R' script; thirdly, to make the input formats compatible with other, 'R'-based
  spatial population genetics tools such as the 'ConStruct' package; and lastly, to
  allow for easily running several chains in parallel and combining them for plotting
  and further analysis. The package also adds more intuitive, streamlined tooling
  around creating more complex habitats. The method of estimating effective migration
  surfaces was first described by Petkova, D., Novembre, J. & Stephens, M. (2016)
