 * Image support libraries
 
 Emacs needs optional libraries to be able to display images (with the
-exception of PBM images whose support is built-in).  Here's the list
-of these optional libraries, and the URLs where they can be found:
+exception of PBM and XBM images whose support is built-in).  On some
+systems these may already be present or available as additional
+packages, particularly on GNU/Linux.  (In some cases older versions
+won't work because some routines are missing, and configure should
+avoid such old versions.)

+If necessary, you can build them from source.  None are vital for
+running Emacs.  Here's the list of these optional libraries, and the
+URLs where they can be found:
 
   . libxpm for XPM:   ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/
   . libpng for PNG:   ftp://www.libpng.org/pub/png/

-Emacs needs to be configured with the appropriate --with-LIB option,
-to be built with these libraries.  See below for more details.
+Emacs will configure itself to build with these libraries if configure

 The `--prefix=PREFIXDIR' option specifies where the installation process
 should put emacs and its data files.  This defaults to `/usr/local'.
