+      This is the Imlib 2 library - a library that does image file loading and
+      saving as well as rendering, manipulation, arbitrary polygon support, etc.
+      It does ALL of these operations FAST. Imlib2 also tries to be highly
+      intelligent about doing them, so writing naive programs can be done
+      easily, without sacrificing speed.
