Improve compilation documentation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I just compiled Skipfish in Windows with Cygwin and I had to install the
following packages:

- libidn
- libidn-devel
- openssl-devel

In the docs, it's only told "libidn" but is should include the other packages.

Regards.

I think it would be much better to include this in the README.

It's pretty rudimentary. If you have a difficulty with this, you will have 
difficulty 
building any other software from source.

Including detailed instructions listing every single standard dependency / 
package 
name variation on every OS in the README would add clutter, and probably not 
help that 
many users.

I didn't say "listing every single standard dependency / package 
name variation on every OS in the README"... I just said to include 
libidn-devel and
openssl-devel to the readme, like it is *already* done with libidn.

But it's ok. Congrats for this useful tool.

Regards.

rcsilv - could you please help me out a little? I'm also trying to compile this 
for windows using cygwin. I found a few non-working instructions online for 
that particular path. My knowledge of this process is none (I wish the author 
would release binaries also). I'm stuck at this error:

$ make
cc -L/usr/local/lib/ -L/opt/local/lib skipfish.c -o skipfish -O3 -Wno-format 
-Wall -funsigned-char -g -ggdb -I/usr/local/include/  -I/opt/local/include/  
-DVERSION=\"2.04b\" \
      http_client.c database.c crawler.c analysis.c report.c -lcrypto -lssl -lidn -lz
make: cc: Command not found
Makefile:40: recipe for target `skipfish' failed
make: *** [skipfish] Error 127

Thank you!
