+ (synopsis
+ "Library for communicating with spacenavd or 3dxsrv")
+ (description
+ "The libspnav library is provided as a replacement of the magellan
+library. It provides a cleaner, and more orthogonal interface. libspnav
+supports both the original X11 protocol for communicating with the driver, and
+the new alternative non-X protocol. Programs that choose to use the X11
+protocol, are automatically compatible with either the free spacenavd driver
+or the official 3dxserv, as if they were using the magellan SDK.
+
+Also, libspnav provides a magellan API wrapper on top of the new API. So, any
+applications that were using the magellan library, can switch to libspnav
+without any changes. And programmers that are familliar with the magellan API
+can continue using it with a free library without the restrictions of the
+official SDK.")
