+         portable, and dynamic graphical user interfaces.  It is a core part
+         of MeeGo, and is supported by the open source community.  Its
+         development is sponsored by Intel.
+
+         Clutter uses OpenGL for rendering (and optionally OpenGL|ES for use
+         on mobile and embedded platforms), but wraps an easy to use,
+         efficient, flexible API around GL's complexity.
+
+         Clutter enforces no particular user interface style, but provides a
+         rich, generic foundation for higher-level toolkits tailored to
+         specific needs.
