This patch was originally sent to Chris Ricker (Changes maintainer) who
sent it to Linus, alas no response.

Linus, this patch adds scripts/check_linux_requirements plus 3 lines of
text to Documentation/Changes. The script reads Chris's nice Changes
document and checks the user's system to see if all the required
packages are up to date. No affect on the rest of Linux, it just makes
it easier for users to verify their system before submitting bug reports.=

The patch is against 2.1.121 but will fit anything from 2.1.107 onwards.
