+SUMMARY="Apache Portable Runtime Utility Library"
+DESCRIPTION="The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project is to \
+create and maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and \
+consistent interface to underlying platform-specific implementations.
+The primary goal is to provide an API to which software developers may code \
+and be assured of predictable if not identical behaviour regardless of the \
+platform on which their software is built, relieving them of the need to code \
+special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of platform-specific \
+deficiencies or features."
