I agree.  Better to just replace the dependency text in the README with the URL 
for the appropriate wiki page, and then it will never be out of date again.  
Maybe list the tools we currently depend on (without mentioning versions) so 
people know that they need more than just a C++ compiler, to encourage them to 
actually check the link, but specifically say that this list is just an example.
