Wiki would be good, and I agree with your comment about the formal docs, but where I think it really needs to go is in the INSTALL file. Lots of people are used to configure && make && make install, they are not so familiar with having to do the autoreconf -i.


Those who do a lott of svn/cvs-head building do know. It is very common.
The INSTALL file also get's into the release, so that's not a good place, the wiki is.

There are instructions for downloading the SVN on the website
perhaps just put it (or a link to it) under there?

You are telling people how to start the process but not how to finish it.
The easier it is to use the latest version the more people will, the more testing you get.

I'll make a page in the wiki.
