[issue13472] devguide doesn’t list all build dependencies

[Ezio Melotti]

I agree with Antoine, there's no need to mention them in the quickstart.  Moreover these dependencies are optional, so there's no need to install them unless they are specifically needed (on a related note I would also add an "optional" in the warning that says "Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found" -- I've seen enough people complaining that the build "failed" because this dependencies were missing).
Explaining how to get them in the build page sounds fine to me.

stage:  -> needs patch
