documentation bug?

From: <kbrannen_at_gte.net>

Now that I have a compiled svn, I obviously need to read the docs before I can
use it; but I can't because all I have are texi files; and "make doc" doesn't
work. Why? Because I didn't have "makeinfo" installed when I did the
configure. Therefore...

A small blurb in the INSTALL file (maybe I.12?) pointing out that if you want
documention, you need to have "makeinfo" and friends installed. Sample
suggestion below (mostly from doc/README).

HTH,
Kevin

12. makeinfo
Subversion's preferred documentation system is texinfo.  The online
documentation for texinfo is at
   http://www.gnu.org/manual/texinfo-4.0/html_chapter/texinfo_toc.html
To build particular things, you'll need one or more of:
   * the `makeinfo' program from the latest texinfo package in
     ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/texinfo/
   * the `texi2dvi' or `texi2html' programs
   * the `dvipdf' script from Ghostscript (pipes dvi | ps | Ghostscript)
If `makeinfo' is not installed before `configure' is run, then the 
documentation will not be created and installed.
