+      Egypt is a simple tool for creating call graphs of C programs. It neither
+      analyzes source code nor lays out graphs. Instead, it leaves the source
+      code analysis to GCC and the graph layout to Graphviz, both of which are
+      better at their respective jobs than egypt itself could ever hope to be.
+      Egypt is simply a very small Perl script that glues these existing tools
+      together.
