+    "The GNU MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision
+floating-point computations with correct rounding.  MPFR 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).")
