Perhaps at least the above should be mentioned somewhere. Maybe
INSTALL would be an appropriate place.
So long as we have the pngs distributed in the tarball, I don't think that
INSTALL is the right place. Perhaps I'll add a not to README.Git

Standalone Info users will still see the text version, since Info has
special
support for that case. I don't know whether the HTML output by makeinfo has
such a fallback, but if not, anyone who uses a text-only browser these
days is
probably savvy enough to look at the output .txt themselves, or to switch
to
the Info version.
I think there is a parameter to the @image command where the alt text can be
provided.
