+     "This package provides a package dependency resolver based on a SAT solver.
+This was originally written for the 0install package manager, but is now
+generic and is also used as a solver backend for opam.  The SAT solver is
+based on @code{MiniSat} (http://minisat.se/Papers.html) and the application to
+package management is based on OPIUM (Optimal Package Install/Uninstall
+Manager).  0install-solver uses a (novel?) strategy to find the optimal
+solution extremely quickly (even for a SAT-based solver).")
