+long_desc="
+ libConfuse is a configuration file parser library, licensed under the terms
+ of the ISC license, and written in C. It supports sections and (lists of)
+ values (strings, integers, floats, booleans or other sections), as well as
+ some other features (such as single/double-quoted strings, environment
+ variable expansion, functions and nested include statements). It makes it
+ very easy to add configuration file capability to a program using a simple
+ API.
+
+ The goal of libConfuse is not to be the configuration file parser library
+ with a gazillion of features. Instead, it aims to be easy to use and quick
+ to integrate with your code. libConfuse was called libcfg before, but its
+ name was changed to not confuse itself with other similar libraries."
