 Each package directory has a setup.hint file which normally contains the short and long description for the package, and the list of other packages on which it depends.  Note that there is normally only one setup.hint file for a package even if several versions of the package exist.  A normal setup.hint file might look like::
 {{{
- sdesc: "The Libgeotiff library, commandline tools and supporting tables."
- ldesc: "The Libgeotiff library, commandline tools and supporting tables.
- Used for manipulating GeoTIFF files."
- category: Libs Commands
- requires: msvcrt libtiff
-}}}
-This indicates the short and long description for the package, the list of categories it will appear in for the installer user interface, and the package it requires.

The maintainer field is an OSGeo4W addition and is used to add a wiki link to the [http://http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/versions.html package listing].
