AFAICS, there's a couple of things that should be changed in the list of system requirements:

- cpio is no longer needed due to git-clone now being a builtin
- According to some other thread on this list, curl might no longer be 
needed, as all its users are now builtin, and uses libcurl instead.
Have fun! :)
