+ "Librsync is a free software library that implements the rsync
+remote-delta algorithm. This algorithm allows efficient remote updates of a
+file, without requiring the old and new versions to both be present at the
+sending end. The library uses a \"streaming\" design similar to that of zlib
+with the aim of allowing it to be embedded into many different applications.")
