+xtrans is a library of code that is shared among various X packages to handle
+network protocol transport in a modular fashion, allowing a single place to
+add new transport types.   It is used by the X server, libX11, libICE, the
+X font server, and related components.
+
+It is however, *NOT* a shared library, but code which each consumer includes and
+builds it's own copy of with various #ifdef flags to make each copy slightly
+different.   To support this in the modular build system, this package simply 
+installs the C source files into $(prefix)/include/X11/Xtrans and installs a
+pkg-config file and an autoconf m4 macro file with the flags needed to use it.
+
+Documentation of the xtrans API can be found in the xorg-docs package, in
+PostScript format in xorg-docs/hardcopy/xtrans/Xtrans.PS.gz and in the original
+troff format in xorg-docs/specs/xtrans/Xtrans.mm .
