I'm not in favor of listing all these versions here.  It's one more
thing to keep updated.  The version requirements are not outrageous, so
we can assume that someone with a reasonably up-to-date development
machine has appropriate versions.

I'm also not convinced that this list is actually complete.  From an
"empty" start you'd typically need at least zlib and readline on top of
those.
