I agree with Behdad mostly except that something should be documented.
There should be a dependency list at a minimum. Whether you download it
via some urpm command or an apt-get or whatever the specific
distribution calls development library packages is irrelevant. 

I have added a small section in the README file and put fribidi as a
dependency. I'm sure there are other dependencies. Which ones would we
need to list?
