Right, I've been debating whether it's worth making INSTALL larger
for performance-only things, especially since it mainly affects
lei users.
Inline::C covers more functionality (at the expense of slow startup time);
I'm working on supporting this via pure-Perl for Linux users (the vast
majority), here, too.
Having too much in the INSTALL can be too intimidating, so I'm
trying to balance that out. It's already in lei-overview(7);
and IIRC it only affects lei, atm.

Yup, AFAIK Debian + derivatives are the only distros with it.

Thanks. I do worry about the quantity of documentation + dependencies
being too intimidating to new users, especially for dependencies with
a narrow scope of usefulness and availability.
*shrug*
