+This PHP extension allows for the retrieval of information regarding
+a vast majority of files.
+
+This information may include dimensions, quality, length, etc.,
+
+Additionally it can also be used to retrieve the mime type for a
+particular file and for text files proper language encoding.
+
+This package is deprecated but I do need it for an AvantFAX web
+application install I'm putting together. The PECL install for this
+particular extension doesn't work correctly so I've put together this
+SlackBuild script and am sharing it with the community.
