+    (description
+     "FFLAS-FFPACK is a C++ template library for basic linear algebra
+operations over a finite field.
+FFLAS (Finite Field Linear Algebra Subprograms) provides the implementation
+of a subset of routines of the numerical BLAS; it also supports sparse
+matrix-vector products.
+FFPACK (Finite Field Linear Algebra Package) is inspired by the LAPACK
+library to provide functionalities of higher level, using the kernel
+of a BLAS.  Additionally, it provides routines specific to exact linear
+algebra, such as the row echelon form.")
