+Rust mappings to libuv (http://github.com/joyent/libuv)
+
+This crate provides a low-level mapping to libuv, a library for
+running an asynchronous event loop, with extensive IO operations.
+
+This crate is seeing heavy work, currently, and the final API layout
+should not be inferred from its current form.
+
+The base module contains a set of safe functions for creating
+an event loop that runs within a single task, but allows operations
+against it from other tasks, but funneling it through a uv_async
+request which reads from a port that users write to.
+
+The 'll' module contains low-level, bare-metal mappings to the libuv
+C-api. All functions within this module are marked unsafe and should
+be used, primarily, for composing rust-idiomatic abstractions. In
+lieu of satisfactory documention for the 'll' module, itself, libuv's
+uv.h should be consulted.
