Another problem is that it's bound to get stale. I just listed all the
stuff I needed to install when I tried to build igt on a semi-fresh
debian based installation. My gripe is having to run ./autogen.sh N
times, trying to figure out which package would fix the errors each
time. If only there was an option to list the dependencies!

I'm fine with not merging this. If anyone has better ideas, patches
welcome. ;)

BR,
Jani.
