That is a reasonable suggestion.

I'd like to encourage you to go a little further and propose a spot in 
the help or tutorial where this information would best be added. And if 
you feel like going a little beyond that still, you could do all of us a 
great favour and write an initial draft of text to be included :)

I haven't had time to look into the documentation, but I did add a small 
remark in our wiki:
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Dependencies#Libraries.2FDeps

At least that's a start...
