These are the standard "*nix development" things that you should know from othre
sources. Like why do you need *-devel | *-dev packagees. You can actually read
information contained in those packages that say what they are for.

Also it is impossible to account for each distribution out there. Some have 1
package some have 10. And all called something different. And it makes no sence
to include all the possible dependancies in the user manual. Website is more
complicated to change then README files included in the source tree.

As far as requirements go, Wine tries not to make _hard_ dependancies on
libraries that might not exist on all systems.

I personally don't see anything here that needs to be fixed.

And last thing, users should not compile Wine from source but rather use
packages provided by maintainers.
