Hi all,

I'm currently playing around with various little things around the build system, and came across our
INSTALL file.

I'd like to move it into the doc directory and turn into a texinfo file, like gcc's install.texi. That would allow referencing it from the hacker guide, putting it on the web, having clickable URLs, etc.

Any objections?

There should probably be some sort of make target to be able to generate a plain text version. If someone needs to read INSTALL, they might not know how to generate a version they can read.

Hi David,

I'd suggest doing it the way it works for gcc: there is a version of the installation docs online.

So far, I've moved the sections considering (optional) prerequisites into respective portions of the hacking guide, and I've added a new section describing the remainder of installation options to it. I'll send out a patch to the list
when I'm done moving things over.

cheers,
