.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fIgimptool\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\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.

.SH OPTIONS
