-	# TODO: need to compile java in uk/ac/babraham/FastQC/
-	# and decide whether jbzip2-0.9.jar is a standard java lib or not
+	# There is no fastqc.jar.  The output from the compilation is the set of
+	# .class files (a jar file is just a zip file full of .class files).  All
+	# you need to copy out is the contents of the bin subdirectory, the rest of
+	# the download you can discard.
+	# 
+	# jbzip2-0.9.jar comes from https://code.google.com/p/jbzip2
+	#
 	# ignore the sam-1.103.jar and rely on /usr/share/picard/lib/sam.jar from sci-biology/picard
+	# The sam-1.103.jar library comes from
+	# http://sourceforge.net/projects/picard/files/sam-jdk/.  Note that there is
+	# a newer version of this codebase at https://github.com/samtools/htsjdk but
+	# that FastQC is NOT yet compatible with the updated API (this will probably
+	# happen in a future release).  This library is needed to read SAM/BAM
+	# format files.
 	# cisd-jhdf5.jar should be provided by sci-libs/jhdf5
