Hi,
This is a small patch removing references to INSTALL.
Thanks for taking the time to submit this. However, it will not be applied.
We should either
apply this patch,
or else create a suitable INSTALL file.
Autoconf has _already_ shipped a suitable INSTALL file for years. In
fact, the INSTALL file for many autotooled packages comes straight from
the one built by autoconf itself. It is generated from doc/install.texi
during bootstrap time, and shipped pre-built as part of all autoconf
tarballs.

creating the file anytime soon,
I don't know why you think the file does not exist, unless you have
grabbed autoconf.git but have not yet properly bootstrapped it according
to the directions in README-hacking.
