+† The only non‐Posix programs‡ required are those provided by `libxml2`
+ and `libxslt` (which most operating systems provide), but on Linux
+ machines the commandline utilities may need to be installed
+ separately as **`libxml2-utils`** and **`xsltproc`**.
+Additionally, not all Linux distributions bundle all necessary Posix
+ programs; on Debian (for example) you may need to separately install
+ **`sharutils`** for `uudecode` and `uuencode` and **`pax`** for
+ archiving.
+
+‡ This make·file also currently depends on non‐Posix `stat` but
+ attempts to handle both the G·N·U and B·S·D variants.
+It expects `xargs` to accept a `-0` option, which, while widely
+ supported, is not a part of the Posix standard.
