I will admit I wasn't actually aware of that (or I would have phrased
my mail differently).

There is already a README-alpha, perhaps these two could be combined or 
the contents of README.hacking be put at the end of the primary README 
file?

Thanks,

PS: The version requirements appear a bit tough.  I just gave autoboot
a try, but ran into

  autopoint: *** The AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION declaration in your 
  configure.ac file requires the infrastructure from gettext-0.18 but
  this version is older. Please upgrade to gettext-0.18 or newer.

when gettext 0.18 was released only five months ago (so basically no
released distro uses it).
