+SUMMARY="Bam is a fast and flexible build system."
+DESCRIPTION="Bam uses Lua to describe the build process. It's takes its \
+inspiration for the script files from scons. While scons focuses on being \
+100% correct when building, bam makes a few sacrifices to acquire fast. \
+full and incremental build times."
