Per, note that the “suggested description” that Carlo refers to above
is the canonical description that GNU has for Kawa:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/womb/gnumaint/rec/pkgblurbs.rec
We should change it if it doesn’t match the way you would present Kawa.
Let us know what you think!
Thanks,
Ludo’.
