[Buildbot-devel] Installing on Windows...

[Philippe McLean]

I clarified the pre-requisites in the document. Jinja2 is required by the
master; pyOpenSSL is required if you want the master to send email over SSL.

The buildbot package at our site was installed directly by running setup.py
directly, not by running easy_install. I have not tried that method.
