+SUMMARY="Library and tool for working with Microsoft cabinet archives"
+DESCRIPTION="gcab is command line tool that can list, extract and create \
+cabinet (.cab) archives. The Cabinet format is often used on Microsoft Windows \
+but it can also be used on other systems with open source software such as \
+cabextract, lcab and gcab. Unlike cabextract and lcab, which can only list \
+and extract cabinet archives, gcab can also create them.
+gcab also includes a GObject shared library, libgcab, which provides all the \
+functionality available to the command line tool."
