Can we afford two more chars?:

     root#


This is what I've written in docs before.  But I agree with stas that
showing a prompt is better.

   (type as a normal user)
   ./configure
   make
   make test
   (su to root, if installing in system libraries)
   make install

But that's not very platform independent.
