JACK is a sound server, like aRts or esound. It's good for low latency
work but is Linux specific.

I think Wine supports aRts as well, perhaps that should be on the list.

At some point, somebody needs to merge in the improvements TransGaming
made to wininet (their copy of the dll is based on lgpld code) at which
point we'll have a dep (hard? soft?) on OpenSSL too.

Hmm. Can't think of any more at present. There are probably more
though....

I got this list by greping for "dlopen" in the source. I doubt there are 
many more, though it is possible. I did not include X11, though 
technically it is.

If anyone is using a DLL that is totally dependant on an external 
library, and that DLL can simply fail to load if the library is not 
there, that would not be on this list.
