Looks good Rene, and I agree that XML is the way to go here.

How would you feel about adding another element, describing the needed 
skill set for using the library? There would be three choices: 
"standard", "generic", and "metaprogromming". It would be helpful for 
people who don't use the more advanced techniques to filter out 
inappropriate libraries, and people looking specifically for tools for 
those types of programming could find them more easily.
