Maybe stick BUILDING.txt (or better, leave off the ".txt -- which should
be sufficient for anyone, if not the prettiest) in /usr/src and the stuff
used to generate it, and other versions (html etc) in /usr/share/doc/building
(or something), available to those who need to modify it, but out of the way.

Personally I always get irritated when I see a bunch of different
versions of a file sitting around - I'm never really sure which one
I'm supposed to use.  Usually it doesn't matter - but when starting,
how would I know that?   Having just one obvious file there to read
is much nicer.
