I have no objection to documenting more or having the makefile do more
things automatically, but my personal goal is not to make it trivial for
novices to use (I don't really want to spend what's left of my life working
on just this one project).  I just want to have a mostly reproducible way to
build Octave and dependencies on systems that don't have proper package
management systems or that don't have up to date dependencies.
