+JSBSim is a multi-platform, general purpose object-oriented Flight
+Dynamics Model (FDM) written in C++. The FDM is essentially the
+physics & math model that defines the movement of an aircraft, rocket,
+etc., under the forces and moments applied to it using the various
+control mechanisms and from the forces of nature. JSBSim can be run in
+a standalone batch mode flight simulator (no graphical displays
+a.k.a. console mode) for testing and study, or integrated with the
+Unreal engine, FlightGear and many other simulation environments.
+
+Available options with their default values shown below:
+ SYSTEM_EXPAT=ON
+ Use Slackware's native l/expat XML library
+ BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
+ Build libJSBSim as a shared library for use by the JSBSim executable
+ and the Python module; otherwise, build libJSBSim as a static
+ library
+ BUILD_DOCS=OFF
+ Build the C++ API documentation with Doxygen
+ BUILD_PYTHON_MODULE=ON
+ Build & install the Python module
