There is an HTML formatting error near libldap. (Patch to fix attached).

The NTLM library is listed as Optional but the color is wrong.  Also fixed.

Crossover Office has apparently moved, fixed in the patch.

I was under the impression that PCRE was recommended but not required for KJS.  
Have we finally given up on having two ways to do it? ;)

Also, JuK requires TagLib, as do some of the kfile plugins.  Do we list 
dependencies in kdesupport separately on the requirements page?  If so, we 
might also want to add aKode.

JuK can also use gstreamer, and musicbrainz (with the tunepimp library).  The 
attached formatting fix patch also includes a blurb about those three.

Regards,
 - Michael Pyne
