+XBMC is an award winning media center application for Linux, Mac OS X,
+Windows and XBox. The ultimate hub for all your media, XBMC is easy to
+use, looks slick, and has a large helpful community. XBMC supports
+viewing and playing a vast library of audio, video and image formats.
+XBMC has a sophisticated library management system that allows you to
+organize all your media to give you quick and immediate access.
+
+XBMC requires faad2, libmms and enca.
+
+Optional: vobcopy, lirc, faac, SDL_gfx, cwiid, pybluez,
+lightblue, libvdpau and avahi. Starting with version 9.11 XBMC can
+be built with additional system libraries which are ffmpeg, libmpeg2,
+libdca (aka libdts), a52dec (aka liba52) libass and python (all available
+at slackbuilds.org or included in Slackware). Look inside the slackbuild
+for addtional information to turn these options on.
+
+Optional: pulseaudio (not available at slackbuilds.org)
+
+In order to use a Wii remote with XBMC pass USE_WII=yes to the
+slackbuild. This now makes cwiid a build requirement and also requires
+pybluez or lightblue for bluetooth support.
+
+Some plugins to use are available at:
