Drop the leading 'a' and de-capitalise all words but "Japanese".

The first two sentences (with some editing) belong in the description.
The last sentence belongs in the man page.
Here's how I'd start the description:
"Mecab is a morphological analysis system. It can segment and tokenize
Japanese text strings and can output many additional pieces of
information (pronunciation, semantic information, etc)."
More information that this should be added to the description, for
example mentioning what the strengths of Mecab are vs. the other
(potential?) morphological analysis systems.
By the way, the descriptions of ChaSen and JUMAN look *very* similar to
the proposed description of mecab. Should this be the case? All of my
comments apply to the descriptions of those packages too. More
information which differentiates the packages should be added.
