My $.02. Having just built a new server I like the fact that most packages
(gcc, apache, perl) have a top-level INSTALL and README file. They are
flat files so you can look at them before you have installed anything. I
like the convention.
More specifically you shouldn't have to install anything to read the
INSTALL file.
