+
+** Guile, version 2.0.12 or is know to work.
+Guile is not strictly necessary but it is used by the configure script
+and in development.
+
+** GNU Make, version 4.0 is know to work.
+Not strictly necessary.
+
+** /bin/sh, GNU Bash 4.3 is known to work.
+Let's just say for now that it gets awkward without a shell.
+
+
+*** Development (but see [[./guix.scm]])
+
+** GNU coreutils
+** sed, GNU sed 4.2 is known to work.
+** git, 2.10 is known to work.
