I'll double-check for that. Note that I am merely moving my changes over to
INSTALL, so whatever INSTALL has should be the final version. Below is the
current diff between them.
On a separate note, I think there might be some unspecified requirements for
building the documentation. On my newly set up Ubuntu machine, the build
gets to the thumbnails stage and recognizes that I have no thumbnails, and
then the process goes to sleep. Maybe we have an error check missing
somewhere?
