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.

-The biblatex package is a complete reimplementation of the
-bibliographic facilities provided by LaTeX in conjunction with
-BibTeX. It redesigns the way in which LaTeX interacts with
-BibTeX at a fairly fundamental level. With biblatex, BibTeX is
-only used (if it is used at all) to sort the bibliography and
-to generate labels. Instead of being implemented in BibTeX's
-style files, the formatting of the bibliography is entirely
-controlled by TeX macros. Good working knowledge in LaTeX
-should be sufficient to design new bibliography and citation
-styles -- there is no need to learn BibTeX's postfix stack
-language. Just like the bibliography styles, all citation
-commands may be freely (re)defined. In fact, users need not
-remain bound to BibTeX for use with biblatex: an alternative
-bibliography processor biblatex-biber is available. Development
-of biblatex and biblatex-biber is closely coupled; the present
-release of biblatex is designed to work with biblatex-biber
-version 0.9.3. The package needs e-TeX, and uses the author's
-etoolbox and logreq packages. For users of biblatex-biber,
-version 0.9 is required (at least; refer to the notes for the
-version of biblatex-biber that you are using). Apart from the
-features unique to biblatex, the package also incorporates core
-features of the following packages: babelbib, bibtopic,
-bibunits, chapterbib, cite, inlinebib, mcite and mciteplus,
-mlbib, multibib, splitbib. There are also some conceptual
-parallels to the natbib and amsrefs packages. The biblatex
-package supports split bibliographies, multiple bibliographies
-within one document, and separate lists of bibliographic
-shorthands. Bibliographies may be subdivided into parts (by
-chapter, by section, etc.) and/or segmented by topics (by type,
-by keyword, etc.). The package is fully localized and can
-interface with the babel package.
