Log Message:
-----------
INSTALL says it only uses B<> C<> L<> and F<>, so stick to that
Change the only instance of I<> to B<> - bold is at least as good for
emphasis, and consistency within the document is good.
Remove the only X<> - a single =head2 had an X<> beneath it, whilst all
others did not. The relevant term, PERL_INTERNAL_RAND_SEED, has equivalent
documentation in other files - there is no need to index it here.

M INSTALL
Log Message:
-----------
INSTALL now says that "changes in the Perl language" are usually minor
The paragraph starts:
On a related issue, old modules may possibly be affected by the changes
in the Perl language in the current release.
Previously it made no indication about whether these changes were frequent
or rare, small or large. The reality is that we are careful to keep them
small and backwards compatible, whenever possible. So add the text:
We try hard to make new features "opt-in", such that existing code will
work unchanged, and attempt to identify where bug fixes might expose
code which was relying on incorrect interpreter behaviour.
Also remind people that the pod/perldelta.pod is only changes for the
current release, hence they should read all the relevant perldelta files
if they are upgrading from a release further back. perldelta already says
this, but INSTALL was not clear.
