updated README. Particularly updated the installation-requirements.

Hopefully someone wants to kick the tires soon. Our installation
instructions needed a bit of freshening up.

 Required Python components
 ------------------------------
 
-sudo easy_install Django Genshi Babel BabelDjango
+You need Python. Probably Python 2.5, I haven't tested with other
+versions. You also need sqlite3 or another Django-compatible
+database. Sqlite3 is recommended for kicking the tires, PostgreSQL for
+production.
+
+Third-party dependencies:
+
+  sudo easy_install Django Genshi Babel BabelDjango pycrypto 
+
+Optionally, you can also install:
+
+  sudo easy_install ply PyZ3950
+
+...though these are just for some Z39.50 code we are testing and
+aren't part of the Syrup Experience yet.
+
+Graham has the following versions installed. Not saying you need these
+exact ones, just that they are known to work.
+
+    Django-1.0.1_final-py2.5
+    Babel-0.9.4-py2.5
+    BabelDjango-0.2.2-py2.5
+    Genshi-0.5.1-py2.5-linux-i686
+    pycrypto-2.0.1-py2.5-linux-i686
+    PyZ3950-2.04-py2.5-linux-i686
