I suggest to have a separate file, called INSTALL-CVS or something. I guess that name would be evident enough. Can you write down the necessary directions? The tarball in an Emacs release usually contains byte-compiled code for some of the files. (Actually, for all the Lisp files that should be compiled.) However, for the files checked out from CVS, there are no byte-compiled files. To build emacs from a CVS checkout, follow the instructions as you would for the tarball, except that replace the initial 'make' by 'make bootstrap'. Is this really complete? That is the real question. What else do people need to know?
