 DESCRIPTION =  gnulib, a source library of code for developing
 define BLURB
-Gnulib is a source code library that provides basic functionality to
-programs and libraries.  Many software packages make use of Gnulib to
-avoid reinventing the portability wheel. It is included in GSRC as 
-a convenience to the programmer. gnulib-tool is only executable.
+Gnulib is a central location for common infrastructure needed by GNU
+packages. It provides a wide variety of functionality, e.g., portability
+across many systems, working with Unicode strings, cryptographic
+computation, and much more. The code is intended to be shared at the
+level of source files, rather than being a standalone library that is
+distributed, built, and installed. The included gnulib-tool script helps
+with using Gnulib code in other packages. Gnulib also includes copies
+of licensing and maintenance-related files.  Many software packages make
+use of Gnulib to avoid reinventing the portability wheel. It is included
+in GSRC as a convenience to the programmer.
