+(Older versions included the tools "ac3dec" and "extract_ac3", which
+were removed from 1.0.27, probably for legal reasons)
+
+Tools marked with an * are GUI tools that require X. To build on an X-less
+system, set GUI=no in the environment.
+
+Optional dependencies:
+
+qt3 - only used for qlo10k1 tool (used for loading patches into emu10k1
+ cards with a hardware MIDI synth). This tool won't be built, if
+ qt3 is not installed (or QT3=no or GUI=no is set in the environment).
+
+fltk - only used for the hdspconf and hdspmixer tools (only useful for
+ Hammerfall HDSP cards). This tool won't be built, if fltk is not
+ installed (or FLTK=no or GUI=no is set in the environment).
