+     "This package makes the qhull library available in R, in a similar manner
+as in Octave.  Qhull computes convex hulls, Delaunay triangulations, halfspace
+intersections about a point, Voronoi diagrams, furthest-site Delaunay
+triangulations, and furthest-site Voronoi diagrams.  It runs in 2-d, 3-d, 4-d,
+and higher dimensions.  It implements the Quickhull algorithm for computing
+the convex hull.  Qhull does not support constrained Delaunay triangulations,
+or mesh generation of non-convex objects, but the package does include some R
+functions that allow for this.  Currently the package only gives access to
+Delaunay triangulation and convex hull computation.")
