DOC: upgrade dependencies to reflect the transition to GTK-3

Browse source 
the corresponding requirements are already reflected in the
SCons build, see Platform.py

NOTE: the current debian package is still based on the preview
Release 0.2.pre from last year. It will be upgraded probably after
the transition to Jessie as reference system

We try to get the best out of modern system programming
techniques to reach a solid performance and good throughput.
Lumiera shall scale with the provided Hardware,
the more RAM and the more/faster CPU's you have the better.
Nevertheless lower end 32bit machines are supported too.

Graphics::
There are no special requirements for the graphic system.
Hardware acceleration will likely be added later through extensions,
but will remain strictly optional. (For now we'll watch the evolution
in that area and might revisit that topic when there are more compelling
and widely supported solutions available)

We contributed to the improvement of this library in the past. These improvements went upstream
with GDL-2.27. Since we're still using GTK-2, for now we're forced to use a _really ancient version_,
which isn't available from the official repositories -- you can find the original tarball and several
Debian/Ubuntu packages in our
link:http://lumiera.org/debian/pool/experimental/g/gdl/[Lumiera package repository] though.
Basically we need 2.27 =< GDL =< 2.30]
with GDL-2.27. At times, we used to ship our own GDL package. Right now, a recent upstream version
together with the corresponding *mm-bindings will do]
