MPC is a C library for the arithmetic of complex numbers with
arbitrarily high precision and correct rounding of the result. It is
built upon and follows the same principles as MPFR.

The MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point
computations with exact rounding (also called correct rounding). It is
based on the GMP multiple-precision library.

The main goal of MPFR is to provide a library for multiple-precision
floating-point computation which is both efficient and has a
well-defined semantics. It copies the good ideas from the ANSI/IEEE-754
standard for double-precision floating-point arithmetic (53-bit
mantissa).

The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust,
commercial-grade, full-featured, and open source toolkit implementing
the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS
v1) protocols with full-strength cryptography. The project is managed
by a worldwide community of volunteers that use the Internet to
communicate, plan, and develop the OpenSSL toolkit and its related
documentation.

Derivation and License

OpenSSL is based on the excellent SSLeay library developed by Eric A.
Young and Tim J. Hudson. The OpenSSL toolkit is licensed under an
Apache-style license, which basically means that you are free to get it
and to use it for commercial and noncommercial purposes.

MinGW Windows ORBit2 library.

Pango is a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. It can be used
anywhere that text layout is needed, though most of the work on Pango so far has been done in the context of the GTK+
widget toolkit. The integration of Pango with Cairo provides a complete solution with high quality text handling and
graphics rendering.

pangomm provides a C++ interface to the Pango library. Highlights
include typesafe callbacks, widgets extensible via inheritance and a
comprehensive set of widget classes that can be freely combined to
quickly create complex user interfaces.

PDCurses is a public domain curses library for DOS, OS/2, Win32, X11
and SDL, implementing most of the functions available in X/Open and
System V R4 curses. It supports many compilers for these
platforms. The X11 port lets you recompile existing text-mode curses
programs to produce native X11 applications.

Note that ncurses is not available for MinGW / Windows. Applications
which need curses functionality can use this package, provided they
don't use any of the extensions specific to ncurses.

Pidgin allows you to talk to anyone using a variety of messaging
protocols including AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, Jabber, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, ICQ,
IRC, Novell Groupwise, QQ, Lotus Sametime, SILC, Simple and Zephyr.
These protocols are implemented using a modular, easy to use design. To
use a protocol, just add an account using the account editor.

Pidgin supports many common features of other clients, as well as many
unique features, such as Perl scripting, TCL scripting and C plugins.

Pidgin is not affiliated with or endorsed by America Online, Inc.,
Microsoft Corporation, Yahoo! Inc., or ICQ Inc.

This is a pidgin plugin which implements Off-the-Record (OTR)
Messaging. OTR allows you to have private conversations over IM
by providing:

- Encryption

- No one else can read your instant messages.

- Authentication

- You are assured the correspondent is who you think it is.

- Deniability

- The messages you send do _not_ have digital signatures that are
checkable by a third party. Anyone can forge messages after a
conversation to make them look like they came from you. However,
_during_ a conversation, your correspondent is assured the
messages he sees are authentic and unmodified.

- Perfect forward secrecy

- If you lose control of your private keys, no previous conversation is
compromised.

A third-party plugin for the Pidgin multi-protocol instant messenger.
It implements the extended version of SIP/SIMPLE used by various products:

* Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS 2007/2007 R2 and newer)
* Microsoft Live Communications Server (LCS 2003/2005)
* Reuters Messaging

With this plugin you should be able to replace your Microsoft Office
Communicator client with Pidgin.

This package provides the icon set for Pidgin.

Pixman is a library that provides low-level pixel manipulation features such as image compositing and trapezoid
rasterization.

Poppler is a fork of the xpdf PDF viewer developed by Derek Noonburg of
Glyph and Cog, LLC. The purpose of forking xpdf is twofold. First, we
want to provide PDF rendering functionality as a shared library, to
centralize the maintenence effort. Today a number of applications
incorporate the xpdf code base, and whenever a security issue is
discovered, all these applications exchange patches and put out new
releases. In turn, all distributions must package and release new
version of these xpdf based viewers. It's safe to say that there's a
lot of duplicated effort with the current situation. Even if poppler
in the short term introduces yet another xpdf derived code base to the
world, we hope that over time these applications will adopt poppler.
After all, we only need one application to use poppler to break even.

Second, we would like to move libpoppler forward in a number of areas
that doesn't fit within the goals of xpdf. By design, xpdf depends on
very few libraries and runs a wide range of X based platforms. This is
a strong feature and reasonable design goal. However, with poppler we
would like to replace parts of xpdf that are now available as standard
components of modern Unix desktop environments. One such example is
fontconfig, which solves the problem of matching and locating fonts on
the system, in a standardized and well understood way. Another example
is cairo, which provides high quality 2D rendering. See the file TODO
for a list of planned changes.

This package consists of encoding files for use with poppler. The
encoding files are optional and poppler will automatically read them if
they are present. When installed, the encoding files enables poppler
to correctly render CJK and Cyrrilic properly. While poppler is
licensed under the GPL, these encoding files are copyright Adobe and
licensed much more strictly, and thus distributed separately.

Popt is a C library for parsing command line parameters. Popt was
heavily influenced by the getopt() and getopt_long() functions, but
it improves on them by allowing more powerful argument expansion.
Popt can parse arbitrary argv[] style arrays and automatically set
variables based on command line arguments. Popt allows command line
arguments to be aliased via configuration files and includes utility
functions for parsing arbitrary strings into argv[] arrays using
shell-like rules.

PortAudio is a portable audio I/O library designed for cross-platform
support of audio. It uses a callback mechanism to request audio
processing. Audio can be generated in various formats, including 32 bit
floating point, and will be converted to the native format internally.

Raptor is the RDF Parser Toolkit for Redland that provides a set of
standalone RDF parsers, generating triples from RDF/XML or N-Triples.

Rasqal is a library providing full support for querying Resource
Description Framework (RDF) including parsing query syntaxes,
constructing the queries, executing them and returning result formats.
It currently handles the RDF Data Query Language (RDQL) and SPARQL
Query language.

The Readline library provides a set of functions that allow users to
edit command lines. Both Emacs and vi editing modes are available. The
Readline library includes additional functions for maintaining a list
of previously-entered command lines for recalling or editing those
lines, and for performing csh-like history expansion on previous
commands.

This is a port of the library and development tools to Windows.

Redland is a library that provides a high-level interface for RDF
(Resource Description Framework) implemented in an object-based API. It
is modular and supports different RDF parsers, serializers, storage and
query languages. Redland is designed for developers to provide RDF
support in their applications as well as a core library for RDF
developers to start with.

SQLite is a C library that implements an SQL database engine. A large
subset of SQL92 is supported. A complete database is stored in a
single disk file. The API is designed for convenience and ease of use.
Applications that link against SQLite can enjoy the power and
flexibility of an SQL database without the administrative hassles of
supporting a separate database server.

T1lib is a library for generating character and string glyphs from
Adobe Type 1 fonts under UNIX. T1lib uses most of the code of the X
Window System rasterizer donated by IBM to the X Window System project.
Some disadvantages of the rasterizer included in the X Window System
have been eliminated.
