DESCRIPTION
-----------
-Crossroads I/O is a library which extends the standard
-socket interfaces with features traditionally provided by specialised
-_messaging middleware_ products. Crossroads sockets provide an abstraction of
-asynchronous _message queues_, multiple _messaging patterns_, message
-filtering (_subscriptions_), seamless access to multiple _transport protocols_
-and more.
+Crossroads I/O is a library for building scalable and high performance
