Is it really optional - can you build the driver without it?

This document needs some help... I'm missing a number of things that are
*not* marked as "optional" (jfsutils, reiserfsprogs, pcmciautils, ppp,
..) and somehow my system works fine :) It would be nice to document
*why* users might need a specific tool.

But I guess we aren't going to do that now. I can apply this, but I do
wonder about the "optional" marking.

Thanks,

jon
