To be honest, I did feel the same when I filed this ITP and I spent some time thinking of a better description. However, after reading the code, the description is probably the best one it can have. This gem basically bundles three or four different helper methods that are mainly to be used by Sinatra and Mustermann. I don't think I can find a better short description that conveys this fact. Maybe change "general purpose library" with "collection of helper methods".
What I can do is beef up the extended description to specify what all are the methods and clarify that they are mainly used by Sinatra and Mustermann for their specific code structure.
As English isn't my best attribute, I'm open to any suggestion you may have. Else I will make the changes mentioned above.
