 Optional dependencies for module support:
 
-- wireless_tools (required for `internal/network` support)
-- alsa-lib (required for `internal/volume` support)
-- libmpdclient (required for `internal/mpd` support)
+- jsoncpp (required by `internal/i3`)
+  - Because some distributions only offer pre-historic releases of jsoncpp,
+    a local copy of the library source (jsoncpp-1.7.7) will be built and linked
+    statically as a fallback if a valid version is not found.
