Edited DESCR in the case of:
File too long (should be no more than 24 lines). Line too long (should be no more than 80 characters). Trailing empty lines. Trailing white-space. Trucated the long files as best as possible while preserving the most info contained in them.

+This package provides the following PostgreSQL modules: citext, hstore,
+intarray, isn, ltree, lo, uuid-ossp, and unaccent. The "citext" module provides
+a case-insensitive character string type, citext.
-The "citext" module provides a case-insensitive character string type,
-citext. Essentially, it internally calls lower when comparing values.
-Otherwise, it behaves almost exactly like text.
+The "hstore" module implements the "hstore" data type for storing sets of
+key/value pairs within a single PostgreSQL value.
-The "hstore" module implements the "hstore" data type for storing sets
-of key/value pairs within a single PostgreSQL value. This can be useful
-in various scenarios, such as rows with many attributes that are rarely
-examined, or semi-structured data. Keys and values are simply text strings.
+The "intarray" module provides a number of useful functions and operators for
+manipulating one-dimensional arrays of integers.
-The "intarray" module provides a number of useful functions and operators
-for manipulating one-dimensional arrays of integers. There is also support
-for indexed searches using some of the operators.
+The "isn" module provides data types for the following international product
+numbering standards: EAN13, UPC, ISBN (books), ISMN (music), and ISSN (serials).
-The "isn" module provides data types for the following international
-product numbering standards: EAN13, UPC, ISBN (books), ISMN (music),
-and ISSN (serials). Numbers are validated on input, and correctly
-hyphenated on output.
+The "ltree" module implements a data type ltree for representing labels of data
+stored in a hierarchical tree-like structure.
-The "ltree" module implements a data type ltree for representing
-labels of data stored in a hierarchical tree-like structure.
-Extensive facilities for searching through label trees are provided.

-The "lo" module provides support for managing Large Objects (also called
-LOs or BLOBs). This includes a data type "lo" and a trigger "lo_manage."

The "uuid-ossp" module provides functions to generate universally unique
-identifiers (UUIDs) using one of several standard algorithms. There are
-also functions to produce certain special UUID constants.

"unaccent" is a text search dictionary that removes accents (diacritic signs)
-from lexemes. It's a filtering dictionary, which means its output is always
-passed to the next dictionary (if any), unlike the normal behavior of
-dictionaries. This allows accent-insensitive processing for full text search.
