Once bindep[1] gets a little more ingrained in our repos (I've got
patches underway to integrate it into our testing mechanisms
currently), this could be solved by adding an other-requirements.txt
file into the repo to which this applies. Its contents would look
something like:

    gcc
    gettext [platform:dpkg]
    libxml2-dev [platform:dpkg]
    libxml2-devel [platform:rpm]
    libxslt-devel [platform:rpm]
    libxslt1-dev [platform:dpkg]
    python-dev [platform:dpkg]
    python-devel [platform:rpm]
    zlib1g-dev [platform:dpkg]

And then with a corresponding "bindep" env in your tox.ini, your
instructions could say to install tox and run `tox -e bindep` to get
a list of additional packages you're missing on your platform.
