We prefer not to use those github archives that can be re-generated and
prefer to use "git-fetch" method instead.

You should explain why tests are not run with a comment.

No need to comment twice.

No need to talk about those operating systems I think.

You could use texinfo to render this list nicely. See "libmemcached"
package for an example.

Could you send an updated patch?

Thanks,
