.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fIgimptool-1.4\fP is a tool that can, among other things, build plug-ins
or scripts and install them if they are distributed in one source file.
.PP
\fIgimptool-1.4\fP can also be used by programs that need to know what 
libraries and include-paths \fIGimp\fP was compiled with. This is especially 
useful in Makefiles.
