Having a link to Qt's requirements on the download page is definitely a 
good idea, but I think creating a third page that lists requirements is 
a bad idea. It means we have to keep all of these up-to-date:

[1] http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/requirements.html
[2] http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git
[3] http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt5_dependencies

Can we kill the Qt5_dependencies page and just link to [1]?

Why isn't it the right place? It's only one line of text. There's an 
area for notes under each section. We could put the link to [1] as the 
first line of the notes for the Qt 5.0 section.
