    Add list of dependencies/requirements to README
    
    Make it explicit which python modules and other libraries/packages
    Kupfer needs. The list is hopefully reasonably complete!
    
    While we list many items as optional, when we say very recommended to
    install it, they should really be installed if you don't have some
    major reason not to install them.
    
    This addresses that gvfs might be needed for some important
    functionality, as reported in:
    
    Launchpad bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/kupfer/+bug/463055

 Installing only for your user, the prefix ``~/.local`` is often used;
 you just have to check that: ``~/.local/bin`` is in your ``$PATH``.
 
+Requirements
+------------
+
+Kupfer requires Python 2.5 or later, and the following important libraries:
+
+* gtk python bindings, version 2.14
+* glib python bindings (pygobject) 2.18
+* dbus python bindings
+
+Optional, but very recommended dependencies:
+
+* python-keybinder (see below)
+* wnck python bindings
+* gvfs
+* xdg-terminal (to find which terminal application you use, if it's not
+  Gnome Terminal)
+* cjson (only req for Python 2.5, not 2.6), for web browser bookmarks

+
+Some plugins might require additional python modules!
