+SUMMARY="An integrated development environment for yab"
+DESCRIPTION="Yab allows fast prototyping with simple and clean code. yab \
+contains a large number of BeAPI specific commands for GUI creation and much, \
+much more.
+
+yab wouldn't be complete without the yab-IDE, a powerful development \
+environment, which of course is programmed in yab itself."
