+    (description
+     "LibLZF is a very small data compression library.  It consists of only
+two .c and two .h files and is very easy to incorporate into your own
+programs.  The compression algorithm is very, very fast, yet still written in
+portable C.
+
+Last not least, it is freely usable, unlike most other compression libraries
+which are under the GPL, this library uses a BSD-type license, so you can
+include it in your programs without worrying.")
