+ libvdwxc is a general library for evaluating energy and potential
+for exchange-correlation (XC) functionals from the vdW-DF family
+that can be used with various of density functional theory (DFT)
+codes. This work was inspired by success of libXC, a library for
+local and semilocal XC functionals. At the moment, libvdwxc provides
+access to the DF1, DF2, and CX functionals and interfaces for GPAW
+and Octopus. The library has been tested with respect to the S22
+test set, various bulk properties of metals and semiconductors,
+and surface energies.
