Zenity is a dependency, yet is not mentioned as a pre-requisite #7

On gentoo (KDE), while running 'sudo make install':

mkdir -p /etc/nvidia-prime
install -Dm755 -t /usr/bin/ nvidia-prime-ui
install -Dm755 -t /usr/sbin/ nvidia-prime-select
install -Dm644 -t /etc/nvidia-prime/ xorg.nvidia.conf

Checking if zenity is installed and exiting with a message saying something like "zenity is required but not installed", or having a cli fallback, would be a nice feature. I had to dig into the changelog.sh file to understand what was going wrong.

Thanks

Apparently, you just have to install zenity with you default package manager. Zenity is required for the graphical interface and it is used by the changelog.sh to display script's last change and fix. Note that Zenity is so rarely not installed by default (I even didn't know it was still the case for some distro), I didn't think to mention it. I will fix.

Done.
