Do not let-bind version.

home-page comes before synopsis and description...

Don't pull it up so that you can "save" the url argument.  Type url out
explicitly.

Prefer saving horizontal space over vertical space.

When it comes to software testing, there is no sequence of instructions
that only a human can carry out.  Tests either exist or they don't and
in the case of GENie there at least formally exists a directory for
them.

I'd simply write "GENie generates projects from Lua scripts, making it
easy to apply the same settings to multiple projects."

We're not going to use proprietary software on our FSDG-compliant
system, so it's only Makefiles, JSON compilation databases and
experimental Ninja.
