Again, I personally find that stopping at asciidoc and letting the user deal with their platform convention to get asciidoc working, like the current documentation does, draws the line better.

If we are not mentioning to check INSTALL elsewhere in the instruction, we probably should, and the place where we mention what software you need to install (like compilers, make, etc.) would be more appropriate, than a note about building documentation.

Thanks.
