The INSTALL file is included in our tarball releases. It is missing
only from a pristine git checkout. The instructions included in it
won't work from a pristine git checkout anyway.
Like the ./configure script and several other important components of
the build system, INSTALL is created by the GNU autotools when you run
./autogen.sh. We intentionally omit the results of running ./autogen.sh
in our git repository, because they are not part of Guile's source code.
The HACKING file includes instructions for building from a pristine git
checkout.
I'm closing this bug. Thanks anyway :)
Mark
