Thanks for having a look! Yes, the pkg/DESCR is a bit long on a few lines. I ended up doing it like that on purpose in order to get nice descriptive lines that aren't chopped in awkward places; I find it reads better.
Compare: A Tcl extension that provides utilities for comparisons of strings, lists and files. The base comparison is a Longest Common Substring algorithm based on J. W. Hunt and M. D. McIlroy, "An algorithm for differential file comparison," Comp. Sci. Tech. Rep. #41, Bell Telephone Laboratories (1976). Available on the Web at the second author's personal site: http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~doug/ It is basically an LCS diff algorithm implemented in C on top of Tcl's API, thus giving full Unicode and VFS support. With (fmt -w 72): A Tcl extension that provides utilities for comparisons of strings, lists and files. The base comparison is a Longest Common Substring algorithm based on J. W. Hunt and M. D.

If it's really a problem I can live with what I feel is less-than-ideal formatting.
