 SUMMARY="Library for creating CORBA Interface Definition Language files"
-DESCRIPTION="
-libIDL is a library for creating trees of CORBA Interface Definition Language \
-(IDL) files, which is a specification for defining portable interfaces. libIDL \
-was initially written for ORBit (the ORB from the GNOME project, and the \
-primary means of libIDL distribution). However, the functionality was designed \
-to be as reusable and portable as possible.
