+The "findlib" library provides a scheme to manage reusable software
+components (packages), and includes tools that support this
+scheme. Packages are collections of OCaml modules for which
+metainformation can be stored. The packages are kept in the filesystem
+hierarchy, but with strict directory structure. The library contains
+functions to look the directory up that stores a package, to query
+metainformation about a package, and to retrieve dependency
+information about multiple packages. There is also a tool that allows
+the user to enter queries on the command-line. In order to simplify
+compilation and linkage, there are new frontends of the various OCaml
+compilers that can directly deal with packages.
