+SUMMARY="Simple, fast, open source XML parser for C++"
+DESCRIPTION="irrXML is a simple and fast open source xml parser for C++. \
+Why another xml parser? The strenghts of irrXML are its speed and its simplicity. \
+It ideally fits into realtime projects which need to read xml data without overhead, \
+like games. irrXML was originally written as part of the Irrlicht Engine \
+but after it has become quite mature it now has become a separate project."
