Sounds good to me.

Yes, these will need to be reworked.  I expect to
have some notes when I get to checking things for
the PDL-2.4.7 release.  Both these pages are pretty
out-of-date with respect to the current status of
PDL git but it doesn't make sense to rework them
until the PDL-2.4.7 pre releases get a bit further
along.

I would point the install manually to both of
the wiki pages for now.  As people test the new
release, if they work through the pages, they
can edit their corrections.
