Good point! There is an INSTALL at top level, and it is old
(still mentions PyXML, and does not mention how to run the tests).
I guess Dependencies (also old) and Install should be combined
into one file, and possibility also exposed as a single web page,
separate from the manual.

Plus, I find annoying that there is the multitude of files called
README, TODO, INSTALL, CHANGES, ... in the distribution tree.
This is tricky to keep updated, and rather confusing. Plus, a global
HISTORY file, to be able to quickly check back for what
change was introduced in which version, is never where I
expect to find it (it is CHANGES one level down from top
dir in distribution). I think any one of these files should
appear in the dist tree strictly only once.
