suggestion for 'make check' in INSTALL

Hello
      for local reasons I'm trying to install subversion outside the
freebsd ports system. I'm using /opt in a basic jail environment
under FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE.

after getting subversion made I thought I'd try make check
% make check
none: not found
*** Error code 127

Stop in /var/opt/src/subversion-1.1.0-rc2.

seems this failed because top-level Makefile had "PYTHON = none"
should at least document python needs to be installed

so installed python and changed this line to match:
PYTHON = /opt/local/bin/python

% make check

suppose I should check whether configure works this out for itself
or should it be supplied to configure?

cheers,
