+long_desc="
+ libHX is a C library (with some C++ bindings available) that provides data
+ structures and functions commonly needed, such as maps, deques, linked lists,
+ string formatting and autoresizing, option and config file parsing, type
+ checking casts and more.
+
+ libHX aids in quickly writing up C and C++ data processing programs, by
+ consolidating tasks that often happen to be open-coded, such as (simple)
+ config file reading, option parsing, directory traversal, and others, into
+ a library. The focus is on reducing the amount of time (and secondarily,
+ the amount of code) a developer has to spend for otherwise implementing such."
