pulls and use more standard formatting

My patch was only focused on the fact that the build procedure for what you get 
after a git pull requires a different build procedure since it doesn't have the 
./configure file you would get from a tar release file. The sentence about 
going into specific subdirectories was part of the context, and not part of the 
patch. If we want to update that, too, I think it should be a separate patch.

(as root)
# make install

would be the proper way to document this.

sudo is just one way to gain root privileges. "su" can be used on many
distributions for this too. Also, if a configure --prefix is used to
target a user-writeable directory, root is not required (but it's
generally not the case).

Thanks,
