+ libssl SSL Support Secure communications
+ libdb4.8 Berkeley DB Blockchain & wallet storage

+
+miniupnpc may be used for UPnP port mapping. It can be downloaded from
+http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/. UPnP support is compiled in and
+turned off by default. Set USE_UPNP to a different value to control this:
+ USE_UPNP= No UPnP support - miniupnp not required
+ USE_UPNP=0 (the default) UPnP support turned off by default at runtime
+ USE_UPNP=1 UPnP support turned on by default at runtime

Notes
-----
-The UI layout is edited with wxFormBuilder. The project file is
-uiproject.fbp. It generates uibase.cpp and uibase.h, which define base
-classes that do the rote work of constructing all the UI elements.
