-  <sect1>
-    <title>Abstract</title>
-<p>
-The &f; library provides a scheme to manage reusable software
-components (packages), and includes tools that support this
-scheme. Packages are collections of OCaml modules for which
-metainformation can be stored. The packages are kept in the filesystem
-hierarchy, but with strict directory structure. The library contains
-functions to look the directory up that stores a package, to query
-metainformation about a package, and to retrieve dependency
-information about multiple packages. There is also a tool that allows
-the user to enter queries on the command-line. In order to simplify
-compilation and linkage, there are new frontends of the various OCaml
-compilers that can directly deal with packages.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Together with the packages metainformation is stored. This includes a
-version string, the archives the package consists of, and additional
-linker options. Packages can also be dependent on other
-packages. There is a query which finds out all predecessors of a list
-of packages and sorts them topologically. The new compiler frontends
-do this implicitly.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Metainformation can be conditional, i.e. depend on a set of
-predicates. This is mainly used to be able to react on certain
-properties of the environment, such as if the bytecode or the native
-compiler is invoked, if the application is multi-threaded, and a few
-more. If the new compiler frontends are used, most predicates are
-found out automatically.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-There is special support for scripts. A new directive, "#require",
-loads packages into scripts. Of course, this works only with newly
-created toploops which include the &f; library.
