Yeah, we clearly need to rethink this area if the plan is that tarballs
will be pristine git pulls. I think we want just README at the top
level, and I propose we give up on the text INSTALL file altogether
(thereby removing a documentation build gotcha that catches people
every so often). I propose that in 2023 it ought to be sufficient
for the README file to point at build instructions on the web.
