Document popt build-requirement and point a download location
Oops, all this time our most important build-dependency had been missing. Add a version recommendation too - while rpm almost certainly works with 1.12 and 1.11 too, those are getting *really* long in the tooth, and 1.13 has an important type fix in poptGetOptArg() return value so might as well use that as the base. (cherry picked from commit 2c5794469188ab7a6e7e930ff167bfa0e08f2415)

To build RPM you will need several other packages:
--------------------------------------------------
+The popt library for option parsing, must be version 1.13 or later.
+At this time, it is available at least from
+ http://ftp.rpm.org/mirror/popt/
+
The zlib library for compression support. You might also need/want
the unzip executable for java jar dependency analysis. All available from
http://www.gzip.org/zlib/
