+Gnome chemistry Utils (gchemutils) is a collection of libraries and
+programs and plugins for chemists and science students.
+
+Six programs are avaible:
+1) A 2D chemical editor (GChemPaint)
+2) A 3D molecular structure viewer (GChem3Viewer)
+3) A Crystal structure viewer (GCrystal)
+4) A Chemical calculator (GChemCalc)
+5) A Spectrum viewer (GSpectrum)
+6) A periodic table of the elements application (GChemTable)
+
+Three plugins for external programs are included:
+1) A GOffice plugin allows embedding GChemPaint supported files in
+ programs supporting the GOffice component framework
+2) A Gnumeric plugin provides a molarmass function for the spreadsheet
+3) A Mozilla plugin allows embedding 2D, 3D and crystal structures as
+ well as spectra in web pages
+
+This requires goffice, chemical-mime-data, bodr, gtkglext, and openbabel.
+For building the Mozilla plugin, make sure you have Seamonkey installed.
+
+NOTE: The Mozilla plugin might not be very stable, so if you want to
+prevent it from building, pass MOZILLA=NO to the script.
