What do people think about a hint such as the following in INSTALL?
--- INSTALL.~1.94.~ Sat Feb 15 12:07:09 2003
+++ INSTALL Mon Apr 28 07:10:57 2003

+* GNU/Linux development packages

+Many GNU/Linux systems do not come with development packages by
+default; they just include the files that you need to run Emacs, but
+not those you need to compile it. For example, to compile Emacs with
+X11 support, you may need to install the special `X11 development'
+package.
