    INSTALL.extra: Delete "Miscellaneous" section.
    
    It was only about configuring the paper format.  We cover that in the
    "PROBLEMS" file, section "Paper Format" of our Texinfo manual, and
    subsection "Paper format" of groff(1).  Also, our Autoconf check and
    summary report cover this ground now.
