+define Package/libconfig/description
+ Libconfig is a simple library for manipulating structured configuration
+ files. This file format is more compact and more readable than XML. And
+ unlike XML, it is type-aware, so it is not necessary to do string
+ parsing in application code.
+
+ Libconfig is very compact -- just 38K for the stripped C shared
+ library (less than one-fourth the size of the expat XML parser library)
+ and 66K for the stripped C++ shared library. This makes it well-suited
+ for memory-constrained systems like handheld devices.
