+		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.
