For those who install the patchbot? Come on, who installs that except
developpers? If they get a message saying that "X must be installed" they
will install it, and that's it.
To install mine I had to fight for days, create an user account only for
the patchbot, fight with ccache... Having a system dependency like that
really isn't a problem (if an explicit error message appears).
