+Enlightenment DR17 is the next generation of UNIX graphical
+environments.  It is not just a window manager, but it is also a
+desktop shell.  A desktop shell means a window manager plus a file
+manager plus configuration utilities all in one.
+
+Enlightenment is dependent upon the following packages (build exactly
+in the order given): eet, evas, ecore, e_dbus, efreet, embryo and
+edje.
