+This folder contains Inkscape extensions, i.e. the scripts
+that Inkscape uses to perform some specialized functions.
+
+Each *.inx file contains a description of an extension,
+listing its name, description, prerequisites, etc. These
+files are read by Inkscape on launch. Other files are
+the scripts themselves (Perl, Python, and Ruby are
+supported, as well as shell scripts).
+
+Some of the scripts here are not (yet) hooked up to Inkscape
+in any way but can be used from the command line (e.g.
+inkscape-shadow*).
