+A darcsweb configuration generator
+----------------------------------
+
+This is a small utility that generates configuration files for darcsweb, in
+case you're lazy and/or have many repositories.
+
+It receives four parameters: the base URL for your repositories, the base
+description, the encoding and the directory to get the repositories from.
+It replaces the string "NAME" with the name of the directory that holds the
+repository, so you can specify urls and descriptions with the name in them.
+
+Then, it generates an appropiate configuration for each repository in the
+directory. It outputs the configuration to stdout, so you can redirect it to
+config.py. For example:
+
+$ mkconf.py "http://example.com/darcs/NAME" "Repo for NAME" latin1 \\
+	~/devel/repos/ >> config.py
+
+Remember that you still need to do the base configuration by hand. You can do
+that by copying the sample included with darcsweb.
