+GNU Recutils is a set of tools and libraries to access human-editable,
+plain text databases called recfiles. The data is stored as a sequence
+of records, each record containing an arbitrary number of named fields.
+
+mdbutils is an optional dependency (autodetected) required to build the
+mdb2rec utility (will patch the source and run autoreconf).
+If you already have the mdbutils package installed, but do not want the
+mdb2rec utility, set the MDB2REC environment variable to "no" before
+executing the script, e.g.
+ MDB2REC="no" ./recutils.SlackBuild
