+bacon (BASIC to C translator)
+
+BaCon is a free BASIC to C translator for Unix-based systems. It
+intends to be a programming aid in creating tools which can be
+compiled on different platforms while trying to revive the days of the
+good old BASIC. BaCon can be described as a translator, a converter,
+a source-to-source compiler, a transcompiler or a transpiler. It also
+can be described as a very elaborate preprocessor to C.
+
+Note: BaCon only supports its own dialect of BASIC, which does not
+support line numbers. You can't use this to compile ancient code from
+the 80s.
+
+Optional dependency: fltk (autodetected). If fltk is installed at
+build time, the BaCon FLTK GUI will be built instead of the TK GUI.
+If you have fltk installed but prefer the TK GUI, export FLTK=no in
+the script's environment.
+
+Note: BaCon has a GTK+ GUI option, but it is not supported by this
+SlackBuild.

+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
