Separate IO dependencies
OpenCV, LMDB, LevelDB and Snappy are made optional via switches (USE_OPENCV, USE_LMDB, USE_LEVELDB) available for Make and CMake builds. Since Snappy is a LevelDB dependency, its use is determined by USE_LEVELDB. HDF5 is left bundled because it is used for serializing weights and solverstates.

## Prerequisites
-Caffe has several dependencies.
+Caffe has several dependencies:
* [CUDA](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-zone) is required for GPU mode.
* library version 7.0 and the latest driver version are recommended, but 6.* is fine too
* 5.5, and 5.0 are compatible but considered legacy
* [BLAS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Linear_Algebra_Subprograms) via ATLAS, MKL, or OpenBLAS.
* [Boost](http://www.boost.org/) >= 1.55
+* `protobuf`, `glog`, `gflags`, `hdf5`
+
+Optional dependencies:
+
* [OpenCV](http://opencv.org/) >= 2.4 including 3.0
-* `protobuf`, `glog`, `gflags`
-* IO libraries `hdf5`, `leveldb`, `snappy`, `lmdb`
+* IO libraries: `lmdb`, `leveldb` (note: leveldb requires `snappy`)
Pycaffe and Matcaffe interfaces have their own natural needs.
