+    (description "Liboop is a low-level event loop management library for
+POSIX-based operating systems. It supports the development of modular,
+multiplexed applications which may respond to events from several sources. It
+replaces the \"select() loop\" and allows the registration of event handlers
+for file and network I/O, timers and signals.  Since processes use these
+mechanisms for almost all external communication, liboop can be used as the
+basis for almost any application.")
