I've made a step toward this in commit 3bc3dc4: if the status is not 
zero and the process made some output, we signal a user error with 
whatever output we have.

It's not exactly installation instructions, but it will at least tell 
the user that something is wrong.

Previously, I had some problems using this approach, but failed to 
document them properly. Let's see if someone manages to find them again. 
Hopefully, the only thing missing before was the (/= (point-min) 
(point-max)) check.
