 Dependencies
 ============
 
-All FreeCalypso host tools are written in plain C, and with the exception of one
-special hack-utility that has been excluded from the standard build set, they
-have absolutely no library dependencies beyond libc.  In other words, they are
-very friendly to those who like bare bones minimalist systems.  The only
-exception is the fc-lcdemu hack which needs libX11 to compile and an X11 display
-to run.  It was a developer-only hack-utility to begin with, and the developer
-setup of which it was a part never worked in a satisfactory manner, so it has
-been retired.  If you would like to play with it, you will need to compile it
-separately, as it has been excluded from the top Makefile in order to have the
-standard build set with no dependencies.
