It might be helpful also to put those instructions in an INSTALL file in
the repository.  I suspect some people (like me!) in their eagerness to get
started might read the homepage just far enough to get to the github link,
and then follow that.

The man page says brew install takes a single arg, but the online help says
multiple args are allowed, and that does appear to be the case.  So the
equivalent on brew would be (as you guessed):

brew install autoconf automake libtool pkg-config ragel gtk-doc
brew install freetype glib cairo

However:

- cairo requires installing XQuartz manually
- gtk-doc did not successfully install (one problem with libxml2, and
another with gnome-doc-utils)

So maybe it's worth mentioning that the gtk-doc and cairo dependencies can
be omitted if they cause problems.
