+CEGUI - windowing and widget library
+
+Crazy Eddie's GUI System is a free library providing windowing and widgets for
+graphics APIs / engines where such functionality is not natively available, or
+severely lacking. The library is object orientated, written in C++, and
+targeted at games developers who should be spending their time creating great
+games, not building GUI sub-systems!
+
+The configure script for CEGUI will detect whether or not you have an optional
+dependency installed or not and will enable/disable the option accordingly.
+However, you may want to specify this yourself. In particular, pay attention
+to the image codecs because you might want to disable the others to ensure that
+the one you want to use is the default codec.
+
+Some of the optional libraries include:
+ Xerces-C++ XML parser (xerces-c at SlackBuilds.org)
+ LibXML XML parser (libxml at SlackBuilds.org)
+ DevIL image loading library (DevIL at SlackBuilds.org)
+ FreeImage image loading library (FreeImage at SlackBuilds.org)
+ Corona image loading library (NOT available at SlackBuilds.org)
+ Others perhaps - see output of "configure --help"
