+long_desc="
+ Glitz is a portable 2D graphics library that uses OpenGL to render hardware
+ accelerated graphics. It supports many of the latest OpenGL features, such as
+ efficient off-screen rendering using pbuffers. Rendering can be carried out by
+ arbitrary OpenGL layers, thanks to glitz's extensible backend system.
+
+ Glitz is designed to match the X Render Extension semantics and provides
+ a general way for accelerating this imaging model. Glitz can be used as
+ a stand-alone layer above OpenGL but is also designed to act as a backend for
+ cairo, providing it with OpenGL accelerated output."
