   (description
    "pkg-config is a helper tool used when compiling applications and
libraries.  It helps you insert the correct compiler options on the
command line so an application can use gcc -o test test.c `pkg-config
--libs --cflags glib-2.0` for instance, rather than hard-coding values
on where to find glib (or other libraries).  It is language-agnostic, so
it can be used for defining the location of documentation tools, for
instance.")))
