Seriously impressed with the amount of work you've put into it... I didn't want to otherwise detract from your work, but it is a good idea to declare which 3rd party dependencies do exist just so that anyone forking it can be aware of this and ensure that they vendor it (using whatever their preferred method is). I'd probably opt to change the phrasing to be clear that you're using these other libs, simply because they are well-proven, have a lot of mindshare, and that you're standing on the shoulders of giants and bringing it all together in an out-of-the-box server that people can immediately use is actually a great story.
