>From time to time, I see that people are having problems to compile
Emacs under GNU/Linux, because many distributions don't install the
development packages by default.
What do people think about a hint such as the following in INSTALL?

+* GNU/Linux development packages
+
+Many GNU/Linux systems do not come with development packages by
+default; they just include the files that you need to run Emacs, but
+not those you need to compile it. For example, to compile Emacs with
+X11 support, you may need to install the special `X11 development'
+package.
