Clean up extension names to match the actual PHP extension names (eg. 'zip' rather than 'php_zip'), trying to be distribution-agnostic. Add note that we need all three of xml, xmlreader and xmlwriter - on many distributions these are a single package to install, but on FreeBSD these are distinct packages (as they indeed are when compiling PHP from source.) Change note about GD needing version 2. Version 2 has been the default version to compile the gd extension against for many years, but saying we need an extension 'gd2' misleads new users to thinking that there is a distinct extension to install.

I'm setting up PHPExcel for the first time, and I found the prerequisites misleading, so I hope this helps clarify?
We'd also need to update this: https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPExcel/wiki/Developer-Documentation-Prerequisites
But I'm not sure how to - but you can just copy my changes from install.txt
Hope this helps...
