+SUMMARY="Build tool, replacement for jam"
+DESCRIPTION="Ham is a a meaty Jam build tool replacement
+
+One of the main goals is to have an API library, so that IDEs can implement \
+actual Jam support. Another one is to add features that are complicated to add \
+in Jam (like more intelligent header scanning, plug-in support (for header \
+scanning, archive types), dependence of targets on their actual actions (i.e. \
+Jamfile change would trigger rebuild of affected targets)
