README: add a new one using ReST

Hopefully this is a little more useful for people opening the GitHub project
page and can serve the role of a poor man's project website.

-Compiling with full features requires development files for several
-external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
-more information see the output of './configure --help' for a list of options,
-or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
-'./configure'. If you think you have support for some feature installed
-but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain information
-about the reasons for the failure.
-
-Libraries specific to particular video output methods
-(you'll want at least one of VDPAU, GL or Xv):
- - libvdpau (for VDPAU output, best choice for NVIDIA cards)
- - libGL (OpenGL output)
- - libXv (XVideo output)
-general:
- - libasound   (ALSA audio output)
- - various general X development libraries
- - libfreetype (for libass)
- - libfontconfig (for libass)
- - libass
- - FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
-
-Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
-Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
-too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
-the separately available build wrapper that first compiles FFmpeg libraries
-and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
