[PATCH wayland-web] Added depencies and bug fixes to build instructions

[Bill Spitzak]

I started out using a script somebody wrote to build on Debian. But I 
had to edit it considerably as dependencies changed and eventually I 
reverted to pretty much cut & paste of the configure lines. It also 
installed about 100 packages, many of which were not needed (either 
unused or because I had to compile from git anyway). This is why I never 
tried to submit build instructions until I was able to run this 
carefully on a clean machine, as all those installations hid what was 
needed.

A script written in a more useful language than shell might help, as it 
could define functions for the very repetitive part. The only thing that 
changes with each dependency is the name of the git repository and the 
configure options. Plus a few annoying ones that don't use autogen.sh or 
that require extra commands to be typed.
