+Tesseract is a commercial quality OCR engine originally developed at HP 
+between 1985 and 1995. In 1995, this engine was among the top 3 evaluated 
+by UNLV. It was open-sourced by HP and UNLV in 2005.
+
+You will need to get one of the language packs in order to do anything
+useful with tesseract, and that language pack tarball should be present
+in the same directory as the SlackBuild script when the package is created.
+See http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads/list for a list of
+all available language packs.  Note that you can install more than one
+(or even all) of the language packs, as they do not conflict with each
+other.  The build script defaults to use English, but this is easily 
+changed by passing an alternate value on the command line.
+Here is the relevant code from the build script:
+  # Language pack(s) to use
+  # We'll install English by default, but you can pass another one (or all) 
+  # of them on the command line (space delimited).  If you pass more than one
+  # (again, space delimited), you must enclose the string in quotes.  Examples:
+  # TESSLANG=fra ./tesseract.SlackBuild
+  # TESSLANG="deu eng fra ita nld spa" ./tesseract.SlackBuild
+  TESSLANG=${TESSLANG:-eng}       # Default to English
