Hi Paul,

thanks for the suggestion.

I was under the impression that we should avoid giving similar descriptions
(long and short) to two packages… I will add some flesh to the long description,
but are you sure that “Graphical user interface for melting” is not an acceptable
short description?

Have a nice sunday,
