I think this is only needed if you want to locally generate the
documentation as PDF?  I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain it's not
needed for a working VM.  Of course, maybe you already know that.

Straight from INSTALL.md

#### Building Documentation ####

*   `xsltproc` -- XSLT processor. A tool for applying XSLT stylesheets
    to XML documents. Can be downloaded from
    <http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/xsltproc2.html>.
*   `fop` -- Apache FOP print formatter (requires Java). Can be downloaded
    from <http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop>.

If you're on OSX or Linux you should be able to use your favorite package
manager to install.
