+    (description
+     "This package provides a librari for spherical harmonic
+transforms (SHTs), which evolved from the libpsht library, addressing several
+of its shortcomings, such as adding MPI support for distributed memory systems
+and SHTs of fields with arbitrary spin, but also supporting new developments
+in CPU instruction sets like the Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) or fused
+multiply-accumulate (FMA) instructions.  The library is implemented in
+portable C99 and provides an interface that can be easily accessed from other
+programming languages such as C++, Fortran, Python etc.  Generally, libsharp's
+performance is at least on par with that of its predecessor; however,
+significant improvements were made to the algorithms for scalar SHTs, which
+are roughly twice as fast when using the same CPU capabilities.
+
+Supporting paper is availalbe at https://arxiv.org/abs/1303.4945")
