+only thing it needs is [GTK+ 2.0][GTK2] >= 2.16 on Linux systems. GTK is already
+included in Windows and Mac OSX packages. Textadept also has it's own version of
+Lua.
+
+Note: for Win32 and Mac OSX, more than 3/4 of the download and unpackaged
+application sizes are due to GTK, the cross-platform GUI toolkit Textadept uses.
+Textadept itself is much smaller.
