lttngtop dependencies

[Thibault, Daniel]

Currently, the lttngtop/README mentions only the following dependencies:

* gcc 3.2 or better
* libc6 development librairies (Debian : libc6, libc6-dev) (Fedora : glibc, glibc)
* glib 2.22 or better development libraries (Debian : libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-dev) (Fedora : glib2, glib2-devel)
* libpopt >= 1.13 development libraries (Debian : libpopt-dev) (Fedora : popt)
* ncurses development libraries (Debian : libncurses5-dev)
* babeltrace >= 1.2.0 development library

   However, since 19 October 2013 (http://git.lttng.org/?p=lttngtop.git;a=commitdiff;h=16b22a0fe150f4923b9902e802bbf28bacce8d0e), lttngtop depends on lttng-tools (for lttng/lttng.h, lttng/lttngtop-helper.h and later headers, needed to handle live traces).  This must be added to the README (not to mention any DEBIAN/control package files).

Re: lttngtop dependencies

Thanks for the feedback.
The include of lttng.h was an old requirement, I removed it.
The include of lttngtop-helper is only necessary when compiling the
highly experimental mmap live feature (that I should probably remove).

So only the lttng runtime binaries are required for the local live
tracing, I updated the README to clarify that.

Thanks,

Julien
