-Many of these utilities require the popt 
-library, available here:
-  ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/test-4.0.1/popt-1.6.1.tar.gz
+Many of these utilities require the popt library.  Others
+may require the gettext and iconv libraries (libintl, libiconv). 

 
 

-A Note on Licenseing:
+Actually, all of the programs that required gettext have been
+removed from this package, as they are now provided by other
+packages (usually, the original source package from which they
+were once copied into THIS package!).  Thus, "last" is now
+in the `sysvinit' package, and `cal' (+ many more) are now in
+the `util-linux' package.
+
+However, I've kept the infrastructure for gettext-enabled 
+programs just because I don't want to have to regenerate it
+if ever we add a new utility to this package which requires
+gettext functionality.
+
+
+A Note on Licensing:

 --------------------------------------
 Since this package consists of many small utilities taken
 from various sources, there are a mixture of licenses.
