Optional 3rd party dependencies

What follows is a list of projects that will not build without 3rd party dependencies, and where to get these dependencies. These projects are optional: you can use RakNet without them.

### RPC3

Remote procedure calls using C++ and semi-automatic serialization. Includes support for networked signals and slots.

Note: You can use RPC4 if you do not want to install Boost, it however cannot call directly into C++ member functions or automatically serialize method parameters.
