+† The only non‐Posix programs‡ required (other than G·N·U Make itself,

+On most operating systems, these libraries come pre·installed, but on

+  separately (as **`libxml2-utils`** and **`xsltproc`**), which may
+  still need to be installed.

+  **`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.
