 ¹ libsn = libstartup-notification
 ² Pod::Simple is a Perl module required for converting the testsuite
   documentation to HTML. See http://michael.stapelberg.de/cpan/#Pod::Simple
 ³ xcb-util-cursor, to be precise.
 ⁴ Depending on your distribution, this might be considered part of xcb-util.

 i3bar, i3-msg, i3-input, i3-nagbar and i3-config-wizard do not introduce any
 new dependencies.

 i3-migrate-config-to-v4 and i3-dmenu-desktop are implemented in Perl, but have
 no dependencies besides Perl 5.10.

 i3-save-tree is also implemented in Perl and needs AnyEvent::I3 (>= 0.12) and
 JSON::XS. While i3-save-tree is not required for running i3 itself, it is
 strongly recommended to provide it in distribution packages.
