+    "pkg-config is a helper tool used when compiling applications and
+libraries.  It helps you insert the correct compiler options on the
+command line so an application can use gcc -o test test.c `pkg-config
+--libs --cflags glib-2.0` for instance, rather than hard-coding values
+on where to find glib (or other libraries). It is language-agnostic, so
+it can be used for defining the location of documentation tools, for
+instance.")))
