+    (description
+     "GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) is a library designed to make access to GnuPG
+easier for applications.  It provides a High-Level Crypto API for encryption,
+decryption, signing, signature verification and key management.  Currently
+it uses GnuPG as its backend but the API isn't restricted to this engine.
+
+Because the direct use of GnuPG from an application can be a complicated
+programming task, it is suggested that all software should try to use GPGME
+instead.  This way bug fixes or improvements can be done at a central place
+and every application benefits from this.")
