I think we should put something in INSTALL.aldor.  For example,
after point 3:

 Note: Currently (18.06.2012) there is no public server with Aldor
 sources.  If you have Aldor sources you can copy needed files
 to the FriCAS build directory (more precisely, to the src/aldor
 subdirectory).  Alternatively, run make as

    make ALDORSOURCE=path_to_aldor_sources

 where path_to_aldor_sources is either local path or URL to top
 directory of Aldor sources.


OTOH I would prefer not to change ALDORSOURCE in configure.ac.
ATM we do not know where/if Aldor sources will be available.
When situation is clearer we can immediately update configure.ac
in svn.
