+GStreamer uses a *large* array of tools and libraries, most of which are
+optional. We have attempted to make sure that any code that depends on
+optional libraries doesn't get built unless you have those libraries. If
+you find this not to be the case, please, let us know by filing a bug
+report at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/.
+
+
+Required tools:
+===============
+
+An extra set of tools is required if you wish to build GStreamer out of
+CVS (using autogen.sh):
+
+autoconf 2.52 or better
+automake 1.5
+gettext 0.11.5
+libtool v1.4 or better
+pkgconfig 0.9.0 or better (http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/)
+
+Required libraries:
+===================
+
+The core GStreamer libraries. See the gstreamer/ module in GStreamer cvs, or
+the version that corresponds to this plugin release.
+
+Optional libraries:
+===================
+
+This file lists supporting libraries for which gst-plugins contains plugins,
+as well as their minimum version. You can find the corresponding plugins in
+ext/(library)
