+      The Shell Toolkit, or shtk for short, is an application toolkit
+      for programmers writing POSIX-compliant shell scripts.
+
+      shtk provides a collection of reusable modules that work on a wide
+      variety of operating systems and shell interpreters. These modules are all
+      ready to be used by calling the provided shtk_import primitive and
+      "compiling" the shell scripts into their final form using the shtk(1)
+      utility.
+
+      shtk is purely written in the shell scripting language so there are no
+      dependencies to be installed, and is known to be compatible with at least
+      bash, dash, pdksh and zsh.
