+Eina is a multi-platform library that provides optimized data types
+and useful tools for projects.
+
+Among its data types, Eina provides efficient implementation of:
+
+ * double linked list with O(1) append and count;
+
+ * double linked inlist (node is built in the data) with O(1) append;
+
+ * stringshare, a pool of read-only strings that are shared in order
+   to save memory (no copies!), fast referencing and
+   pointer-comparison;
+
+ * hash table with extensible key support, ships by default with
+   string, stringshare, pointer and integer hashes by default;
+
+ * array of pointers, with O(1) count and append, configurable step
+   growing;
+
+ * red-black tree;
+
+ * sparse matrix;
+
+
+As for tools, it provides couple of convenience:
+
+ * generic and extensible logging system;
+
+ * easy to use dynamic module loading (on top of dlopen()) that makes
+   it easy to change to static/built-in modules;
+
+ * generic safety-checks system covering NULL pointers and other
+   incorrect conditions with logging;
+
+ * "magic" type checking that check and logs if expected magic number
+   is incorrect;
+
+ * easy to use and extensible memory allocators (mempools);
+
+ * fixed-point arithmetic;
+
+ * tile splitter and simplifier (merges);
+
+ * generic iterator pattern (how to walk in one direction), just
+   implement the given API;
+
+ * generic accessor pattern (how to randomly access items), just
+   implement the given API;
+
+ * benchmark helpers.
