Well, whoever updates the Makefile will need to update the README file as
well. I checked in a change earlier describing how to properly install
multiple versions using the altinstall target.
If, in the future, the install target does what the altinstall target does
today, what should the target that does what the install target does today?
(???, install) = (install, altinstall)
