.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fIgimptool\-2.0\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\-2.0\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.
