-Required external libraries
----------------------------
-
-The Narya code requires the following external Java libraries (JAR files) to be
-placed (or symlinked) here in the lib/ directory.
-
-* The samskivert library:
-  http://samskivert.com/code/samskivert/
-
-* Apache Commons libraries: io, and lang
-  http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/
-
-* Apache Velocity library:
-  http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/
-
-* Retroweaver library:
-  http://retroweaver.sourceforge.net/
-
-* JUnit library:
-  http://www.junit.org/
-
-Once the jar files are in place (regardless of what they are named), the build
-system will automatically include them in the compile-time classpath.
