 Synopsis:            Batteries included conduit: adapters for common libraries.
 Description:
     The conduit package itself maintains relative small dependencies. The purpose of this package is to collect commonly used utility functions wrapping other library dependencies, without depending on heavier-weight dependencies. The basic idea is that this package should only depend on haskell-platform packages and conduit.
