+description         Create wrappers to interpreted languages
 long_description    CableSwig is used to create interfaces (i.e. \
-                    wrappers) to interpreted languages such as Tcl and \
-                    Python. It was created to produce wrappers for ITK \
-                    because the toolkit uses C++ structures that SWIG \
-                    cannot parse (deeply nested template \
+                    'wrappers') to interpreted languages such as Tcl \
+                    and Python. It was created to produce wrappers for \
+                    ITK because the toolkit uses C++ structures that \
+                    SWIG cannot parse (deeply nested template \
                     instantiations). CableSwig is a combination tool \
                     that uses GCC_XML as the C++ parser. The input \
-                    files are Cable style input files.  The XML \
+                    files are Cable style input files. The XML \
                     produced from the Cable/GCC_XML input files are \
                     then parsed and fed into a modified version of \
                     SWIG. SWIG is a software development tool that \
                     connects programs written in C and C++ with \
                     a variety of high-level programming languages. It \
                     is used to generate the language bindings to the \
-                    target language.  Currently, Tcl and Python are \
-                    supported. CableSwig consists of four executables: \
-                    1) cswig - the main cable swig executable, that \
-                    takes an xml file from gccxml as input. The xml \
-                    file should be created from a cable config input \
-                    file. This program is a modified version of the \
-                    standard SWIG main. It uses CABLE libraries to \
-                    parse the input XML from gccxml to create SWIG \
-                    data structures describing the C++ code to be \
-                    wrapped.  2) cableidx - a program to generate \
-                    index files from gccxml xml files. The index files \
-                    tell cswig what classes are wrapped in which \
-                    libraries.  This is important because swig needs \
-                    to know if a class is not wrapped or wrapped \
-                    in another module, and if it is wrapped which module \
-                    it is wrapped in.  3) gccxml_cc1plus - A patched \
-                    version of gcc that has the -fxml option to convert \
-                    c++ into xml.  4) gccxml - ( www.gccxml.org) the \
-                    front end program to gccxml_cc1plus.  CableSwig was \
-                    developed to support ITK, and has not been widely \
-                    used elsewhere. Not all features of SWIG are \
-                    currently accessible through CableSwig. Features \
-                    known to be missing are: * Wrapping of public data \
-                    members in structs and classes, no accessor routines \
-                    are created, the original source must provide access \
-                    methods.
+                    target language. Currently, Tcl and Python are \
+                    supported.
