+   <para>
+    The name Pazpar2 derives from three sources.  One one hand, it is
+    Index Data's second major piece of software that does parallel
+    searching of Z39.50 targets.  On the other, it is a near-homophone
+    of Passpartout, the ever-helpful servant in Jules Verne's novel
+    Around the World in Eighty Days (who helpfully uses the language
+    of his master).  Finally, "passe par tout" means something like
+    "passes through anything" in French -- on other words, a universal
+    solution, or if you like a MasterKey.
