+     "The package provides a PGF/TikZ-based mechanism for drawing
+linguistic (and other kinds of) trees.  Its main features are: a packing
+algorithm which can produce very compact trees; a user-friendly interface
+consisting of the familiar bracket encoding of trees plus the key-value
+interface to option-setting; many tree-formatting options, with control over
+option values of individual nodes and mechanisms for their manipulation; the
+possibility to decorate the tree using the full power of PGF/TikZ; and an
+externalization mechanism sensitive to code-changes.")
