+     "This package provides a wrapper for several FFTW functions.  It provides
+access to the two-dimensional FFT, the multivariate FFT, and the
+one-dimensional real to complex FFT using the FFTW3 library.  The package
+includes the functions @code{fftw()} and @code{mvfftw()} which are designed to
+mimic the functionality of the R functions @code{fft()} and @code{mvfft()}.
+The FFT functions have a parameter that allows them to not return the
+redundant complex conjugate when the input is real data.")
