+libopenraw is an ongoing project to provide a free software implementation
+for camera RAW files decoding. One of the main reasons is that dcraw is not
+suited for easy integration into applications, and there is a need for an
+easy to use API to build free software digital image processing applications.
+
+It also has the goal to address missing features of dcraw like meta-data
+decoding and easy thumbnail extraction.
+
+libopenraw requires boost (also available at SlackBuilds.org).
