Package txscript implements the decred transaction script language.  There is
a comprehensive test suite.

This package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone
package for any projects needing to use or validate decred transaction scripts.

## Decred Scripts

Decred provides a stack-based, FORTH-like language for the scripts in
the decred transactions.  This language is not turing complete
although it is still fairly powerful.

## Installation and Updating

```bash
$ go get -u github.com/decred/dcrd/txscript
