add dependencies step to github readme?

[Nate Finch]

There's an option to pass -copy=false which won't copy over the sourcecode.
 I don't think we need to keep the external sourcecode in our repo, given
that all our external dependencies are controlled by canonicalers (and we
have N copies of the dependencies where N = the number of people who have
build juju recently).

Definitely we should try it out and see if it fixes any of the niggles we
have with godeps.
