Fear not.  It's not supposed to be kept in CVS, because it's an automatically 
generated file.  The file gets generated by the autotools programs when a 
release tarball is made, so I guess the INSTALL file only makes sense for 
installing releases.

To install from CVS, make sure you have autoconf, automake, autoheader, 
libtoolize and aclocal in your path and then run ./autogen.sh from the 
top-level directory to create everything you need.  The configure script 
should run automatically (but, of course, you can run it again if you need to 
use any configure options).
