+Additionally a minor patch was applied to the file s_loader.c to prevent
+loading of shared libraries, which would not work in Rockbox anyway.
+
+The changes applied fall into three categories: networking, file operations
+and others. As Rockbox does not have a networking, a lightweight messaging
+system was implemented for communication. File operations differ under
+Rockbox from those under desktop operating systems a little. Most, if not all
+changes are recognizable by their using of the ROCKBOX preprocessor variable
+(i.e. #ifdef ROCKBOX, #endif /* ROCKBOX */).
