+SUMMARY="A library that simplifies the drawing of beautiful curves"
+DESCRIPTION="LibSpiro is a shared library designed to give programs the \
+ability to create smooth continuous curves based on a given set of codes and \
+X,Y constraints.
+
+The main user(s) of Libspiro are Font editing programs such as FontForge, and \
+forked copies have been seen in more artistic programs such as InkScape, or \
+in libraries such as GEGL. There may be other possible uses in future, and \
+this library has strong potential in graphical and vector type programs."
