I don't really care about this point - markdown seems ok. But it's not
reasonable to depend on pandoc, because it's written in Haskell, and
there are no portable implementations (*). If you aren't on a CPU/arch
where there are bootstrap kits, it's too hard. So I think he decision
should be made assuming unportable toolchain components do not exist.
* From the pkgsrc Makefile:
# GHC requires GHC to build itself. Formerly we could work around this
# bootstrapping problem by creating a special archive containing C
# sources compiled from Haskell sources, but that's no longer
# possible. So we have to prepare stripped-down binaries sufficient to
# bootstrap compilers for each platforms. If you want to build them
# yourself, follow an instruction in the ./TODO file.
