 Installation notes specific to Texinfo:
 
+* texinfo.tex and the other *.tex files are not installed by `make
+  install'.  This is because there is no reliable way to know where to
+  install them.  Instead, you have to run an additional make command
+  after the normal make install:
+    make TEXMF=/your/texmf install-tex
+  texinfo.tex is installed in ${TEXMF}/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex, etc.
+
+* On the other hand, if you're maintaining a TeX distribution, you don't
+  want your users to see the installation warnings, because you already
+  have the files installed.  (And you're keeping them up to date, right?)
+  In this case, run configure --disable-install-warnings, or set
+  enable_install_warnings=no in the environment.
+
+* On MacOSX, if configure fails with the error:
+	ac_cv_build='config.sub: invalid option -apple-darwin7.2.0
+this is probably because your uname -p is returning "unknown".  Use
+/usr/bin/uname instead.
+
+* For instructions on compiling this distribution with DJGPP tools
+  for MS-DOS and MS-Windows, see the file djgpp/README.
+
 * The Info tree uses a file `dir' as its root node; the `dir-example'
   file in this distribution is included as a possible starting point.
   Use it, modify it, or ignore it just as you like.
