+The srcML format is a XML representation for source code, where the markup
+tags identify elements of the abstract syntax for the language. The srcml
+program is a command line application for the conversion of source code to
+srcML, an interface for the exploration, analysis, and manipulation of source
+code in this form, and the conversion of srcML back to source code. The
+current parsing technologies support C/C++, C#, and Java.
+
+srcML requires some statically compiled Boost libraries which are not
+available in Slackware's default installation. Thus, the required libraries
+are compiled temporarily according to srcML's documentation but will not be
+installed into your system. Also, srcML's Python binding will not be
+installed.
