Please help distributors by documenting such config options that might 
be relevant to adjust for some distributions.

I propose to use an INSTALL file in the root of source tarballs for 
these kinds of notes.  I propose to only add such INSTALL file if there 
is special things to be aware of, not mandate it for standard blah blah 
(as the GNU project do, I believe).


Kind regards,
