Debian always runs autoreconf at package build time, which means
that apt-get build-dep will bring in everything that's needed to
build libvirt from a git clone; Fedora and RHEL, however, skip
this step, so we have to install some extra packages manually.

libvirt depends on a ton of packages, so trying to install them
all by using the classic approach of repeatedly running configure
and reacting to each failure by installing the corresponding
missing package will inevitably lead to frustration.
Luckily there's an easy solution to get most dependencies
installed in one fell swoop, and we just need to document it.

It's generally expected that a git repository will contain this file,
which serves as an entry point for people interested in contributing
to the project.
In our case, we have extensive documentation available on the
website which we don't want to duplicate, so let's just point people
there.
