Yes, feel free to do that.

*BUT*
That requirements page [1] seems a little bit too complicated at first
sight and it includes *build-dependencies* (which people don't need
when using prebuilt libraries/ SDK). The idea behind [3] was to
provide a simple listing of stuff that people need when they are using
prebuilt installers from qt-project.org/downloads. So I would rather
suggest adding the distinction between prebuilt and "source" to the
documentation at [1], or leave everything to [2] and [3].

Remember we are talking mostly about people new to Qt, very often
students who have little experience in the area. Telling them they
have to install Perl, Ruby and Python + a bunch of *-dev libs when
it's not really needed might discourage them.
