+Gnome Devtool Libraries
+=======================
+
+This package contains components and libraries that are intended to be
+shared between GNOME development tools, including gnome-debug,
+gnome-build, and gIDE.
+
+The current pieces of GDL include:
+
+ - A code-editing bonboo component based on the Scintilla
+   widget (scintilla-control).
+
+ - An utility library that also contains the stubs and skels for
+   the above components (gdl).
