-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-PLEASE NOTE: The list of requirements looks long but you DO NOT NEED
-all of these packages, so pay careful attention to what is required
-('R') and what is optional ('O').
-
-ALSO NOTE: Binaries are available for many platforms. You only need
-the packages below if you want to build from source.

- R = required
- HR = highly recommended (use if possible)
- O = optional (just improves functionality, but not required)
- n/a = not available
-
-Note [1]: Findlib was recently ported to Windows and in future we may
-require it because it will let us remove a lot of hacks from the
-Makefiles.
-
-Note [2]: It's not clear if ocaml-gettext works on Windows.
