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.
