+    """FFTW is a C subroutine library for computing the discrete Fourier
+       transform (DFT) in one or more dimensions, of arbitrary input
+       size, and of both real and complex data (as well as of even/odd
+       data, i.e. the discrete cosine/sine transforms or DCT/DST).
+       This package is a wrapper for Cray's version of FFTW.
+
+       To install this package, list it as an external package in packages.yaml,
+       and make sure to load the correct cray-fftw module. In some cases you
+       need to load cray-mpich before cray-fftw.
