+SUMMARY="Helper tool for compiling applications and libraries"
+DESCRIPTION="pkg-config helps you insert the correct compiler options on the \
+command line so an application can use 'gcc -o test test.cpkg-config --libs \
+--cflags glib-2.0' for instance, rather than hard-coding values on where to \
+find glib (or other libraries). It is language-agnostic, so it can be used \
+for defining the location of documentation tools, for instance."
