 The following optional extensions are also useful to benefit from
 extra features, but are in no way required:
 
-* If under MATLAB: the Optimization Toolbox, the Statistics Toolbox,
-  the Control System Toolbox;
+* If under MATLAB: the 
+  * Optimization Toolbox (providing various optimizers

+    statistical distributions), 
+  * Global Optimization Toolbox (for ``particleswarm`` and ``simulannealbnd``)
+  * Control System Toolbox (for the Lypunov solver ``dlyapchol`` triggered with ``options_.lyapunov_srs``)
+  * Parallel Computing Toolbox (to speed up the ``dime`` sampler)
 
 * If under Octave, the following `Octave-Forge`_ packages: ``optim``, ``io``,
   ``control``.
