With GNU software, the INSTALL file is typically boilerplate
information on how to invoke the ./configure script. Not sure if
there's a way around that.

We should distribute the other files you mentioned, but only in a
tarball, not in SVN. That should be handled automatically in 'make
dist'. It is annoying that the autoconf/autotools authors do not
provide a list of generated files, though.
