+     "Volk is a meta-loader for Vulkan.  It allows you to dynamically load
+entrypoints required to use Vulkan without linking the Vulkan loader.
+Additionally, volk simplifies the use of Vulkan extensions by automatically
+loading all associated entrypoints.  Finally, volk enables loading Vulkan
+entrypoints directly from the driver which can increase performance by
+skipping loader dispatch overhead.")
