there is no README with the description of the build process

Can I have a better document about dependencies and required prerequisites, rather than get the errors from `setup.py --help-commands` and fix them one by one?

C:\work\Bazaar\zzz\subvertpy>set SVN_DEV=C:\work\Bazaar\zzz\subvertpy\SVN_DEV

C:\work\Bazaar\zzz\subvertpy>setup.py --help-commands

I'd be happy to add such a document.
