The top-level README in the source tarball says:
------------------<snip>---------------------------
See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

There is no INSTALL file, and although there is documentation
it's scattered in a bunch of sgml files.
Which tarball did you look at? The INSTALL file is there in the 9.2.2
tarball at least:
~$ tar tvjf postgresql-9.2.2.tar.bz2 | grep INSTALL
-rw-r--r-- pgsql/pgsql 76825 2012-12-03 22:34 postgresql-9.2.2/INSTALL
Note that the INSTALL file is not present in the git repository, it's
generated and included in the tarball. See README.git.
