+Here is a brief description of the files included in this directory:
+
+bash_completion - a bash completion script for pacman, install in
+/etc/bash_completion.d/ for use (but rename to something descriptive!).
+
+zsh_completion - a zsh completion script, install (with a rename) to
+/usr/share/zsh/site-functions/.
+
+pacsearch - a colorized search combining both -Ss and -Qs output. Installed
+packages are easily identified with a *** and local-only packages are also
+listed.
+
+pacdiff - a simple pacnew/pacorig/pacsave updater for /etc/.
+
+re-pacman - regenerate a pacman package based on installed files and the pacman
+database entries. Useful for reuse, or possible config file extension.
