Add build dependencies to README.md #25

As discussed in #24.

I tested under a clean Ubuntu container and it works with these packages. We can add other distros later on.

BTW, binary wheels could be pushed to pip instead of relying on users compiling the library individually. We could have wheels for the most common platforms and Python versions (e.g. 2.7 and recent 3.* versions).

Thanks a lot for doing this.

Interesting... using a wheel would mean they would only need libopenexr instead of libopenexr-dev, right?

tiagoshibata commented 5 years ago

Yes, as well as cutting the requirement for zlib1g-dev and a C++ toolchain.
