+The eel library contains a number of generally useful classes and functions.
+Many of them are extensions to things in glib, gtk, gnome-libs, and other
+widely-used GNOME platform libraries. The long term plan is to move much of
+this into the platform libraries themselves.
+
+Almost all of the eel library was previously part of Nautilus, in the
+"libnautilus-extensions" private library in Nautilus 1.0 - 1.0.2. It is now
+a separate package so it can be used by packages other than Nautilus.
