+Suil
+####
+
+Suil is a library for loading and wrapping LV2 plugin UIs.
+
+With Suil,
+a host written in one supported toolkit can embed a plugin UI written in another.
+Suil insulates hosts from toolkit libraries used by plugin UIs.
+For example,
+a Gtk host can embed a Qt UI without linking against Qt at compile time.
+
+Suil also handles the embedding of native platform UIs (which are recommended) in common toolkits,
+for example embedding an X11 UI in a Gtk host.
