I have merged your commit, and then integrated into the template
generation process the inclusion of abstracts from the repository
`srfi-common`.

I have used `pandoc` to obtain both plain-text and markdown variants
of the abstracts (the markdown looks OK):

  https://github.com/cipriancraciun/scheme-srfi-index/tree/master/srfi-abstracts

I have then integrated in the `description` field of the library a
list of lines obtained from the plain-text file.  I choose to include
one string per-line, instead of a single string with newlines
embedded, mainly because the pretty-printing looks best this way.

Ciprian.
