+"Lac" expands to "Library for Asynchronous Communication". It is a
+network abstraction library like a zillion others, but with a few
+features rarely found in other network libraries:
+
+	- Works well with the GLib main loop.
+	- Asynchronous, caching DNS resolver.
+	- Pipelining HTTP 1.1 implementation
+
+These features haven't been tested much, so they will contain bugs and
+missing pieces here and there. They should be basically working,
+though.
+
+Features that would be nice to have, but aren't in the libary yet:
+
+	- HTTP cache
+	- HTTP cookies
+	- HTTP Proxy support
+	- Support for SSL
+	- FTP implementation
+	- Documentation
+
+You can help adding these, of course.
+
+You can download the library at 
+
+	http://www.daimi.au.dk/~sandmann/lac-0.6.tar.gz
+
+Lac is free software; you can modify and distribute it under the terms
+of the LGPL (the GNU Library General Public License). See the file
+COPYING for details.
