[yt-dev] pip requirements

[John Zuhone]

Is this "yes, we should" to install_requires or to a requirements.txt?

Nathan, after looking it over, I see that there are problems when you
have to define the same package in setup_requires and
install_requires, which we'd have to do for NumPy.

Having to depend on other C libraries doesn't bother me as much (isn't
it strictly just HDF5?), because those failures will be related to
those other packages (h5py) and not yt in particular.
