  Description     : A C++, cross-platform, native code APUB validator

This is from its homepage:

FlightCrew is a C++, cross-platform, native code epub validator. It is
composed of three parts:

- FlightCrew, the validation library;
- FlightCrew-cli, the command-line front-end to the FlightCrew
  library;
- FlightCrew-gui, the GUI front-end to the FlightCrew library;

FlightCrew runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X (and possibly other
platforms). FlightCrew-gui uses the Qt Framework, but the rest does
not. The validation library has no external dependencies outside of
those included in the source tree and built along with FlightCrew.

Since FlightCrew is licensed under LGPLv3, it can be directly used by
closed-source projects as well as open-source ones. It was initially
created for Sigil, the epub editor.

Work on FlightCrew was inspired by the inadequacies of other epub
checkers.
