Gentoo's control file is used as an example in maint-guide, which I've
been busy proofreading, so as a side-effect I've ended up with a patch
for a couple of minor errors in gentoo's package description. Here
are the highlights:
-Description: a fully GUI-configurable, two-pane X file manager

is unpopular in en_US, so you might prefer to substitute "uses".)

gentoo is a two-pane file manager for the X Window System. gentoo lets the

program itself. If you still prefer to hand-edit configuration files,
they're fairly easy to work with since they are written in an XML format.
