 Makefiles, and possibly also some source files like loadtools/defpath.c -
 sorry, FreeCalypso is not GNU and does not use autotools.
 
-All FreeCalypso host tools are written in plain C, and with the exception of a
-few utilities in the "special-purpose hacks" category, 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 exceptions are
-fc-getpirimei and fc-pirhackinit which use libcrypto from OpenSSL for DES
-functions, and fc-lcdemu which needs libX11 to compile and an X11 display to
-run.  But as you can read in Host-tools-overview, these utilities are not
-particularly important, so if your system lacks those libraries, just edit the
-Makefiles to not build these utilities - it is very unlikely that you will miss
-them.

-To those who are going to build distro packages from these fc-host-tools: it
-is recommended that you leave fc-getpirimei, fc-pirhackinit and fc-lcdemu out

+The previous dependency on OpenSSL libraries for DES decryption of the factory
+IMEI record on the Pirelli DP-L10 has been eliminated by incorporating our own
+simple DES implementation (performance is not a concern for the one time
+operation of retrieving the factory IMEI) into our rvinterf/etmsync source, and
+the functions that require access to Pirelli's IMEI have now been integrated
+into fc-fsio.
