+YafaRay is a free open-source raytracing engine. Raytracing is a rendering
+technique for generating realistic images by tracing the path of light
+through a 3D scene.
+
+This package is built by default with QT4 support (needed if you intend to use
+the blender plugin too). If you don't want it, launch the script as follows:
+# USEQT=no ./yafaray.SlackBuild (assuming you're root)
+
+You can also build Python bindings, provided you have swig and Python
+installed. Simply run
+# BUILDPYTHON=yes ./yafaray.SlackBuild (always assuming you're root)
+
+Requires the following:
+ - From Slackbuilds.org : scons (version 0.97 or newer)
+ - From Slackware install disks : OpenEXR
+
+Optional dependencies:
+ - From Slackware install disks : Python, swig, QT4
