+XBMC is an award winning media center application for Linux, Mac OS X,
+Windows and XBox. The ultimate hub for all your media, XBMC is easy to
+use, looks slick, and has a large helpful community. XBMC supports
+viewing and playing a vast library of audio, video and image formats.
+XBMC has a sophisticated library management system that allows you to
+organize all your media to give you quick and immediate access.
+
+Optional dependencies: libcec, pulseaudio, libbluray, libnfs, libva,
+libdvdcss, lirc, cwiid, pybluez, id3lib, libvdpau, rtmpdump, afpfs-ng,
+libmicrohttpd, avahi, lame, SDL2, cryptopp, and jsoncpp
+
+Optional: libcrystalhd and libshairport (not available at slackbuilds.org)
