+    longDescription = ''
+      Libite is a lightweight library of frog DNA. It can be used to fill
+      the gaps in any dinosaur project. It holds useful functions and macros
+      developed by both Finit and the OpenBSD project. Most notably the
+      string functions: strlcpy(3), strlcat(3) and the highly useful *BSD
+      sys/queue.h and sys/tree.h API's.
+
+      Libite is the frog DNA missing in GNU libc. However, -lite does not
+      aim to become another GLIB! One noticeable gap in GLIBC is the missing
+      _SAFE macros in the BSD sys/queue.h API — highly recommended when
+      traversing lists to delete/free nodes.
