+version:             0.1.0.0
+synopsis:            A tool to manage shared cabal-install sandboxes.
+description:
+  I really like having sandboxes baked into cabal-install.
+  .
+  However, I got tired of waiting for big packages like Yesod and Lens to
+  compile in project after project that used them. However, I still didn't want
+  to install them in the user database. I wanted to maintain /some/ sandboxing
+  among a group of projects that all share a common set of packages, but I wanted
+  to be able to switch from them or upgrade them easily.
+  .
+  That's the itch I was trying to scratch with `castle`.
+  .
+  It allows you to share one Cabal sandbox between multiple projects. This keeps
+  the package versions for all of these projects in line. It also means that you
+  don't have to constantly be re-installing everything, but you still get the
+  ability to blow away a set of packages without borking your whole system.
