I had thought that wouldn't alphebatize with the GNU Autoconf INSTALL.
But let me test that theory. Hm, on Windows, alphebatization isn't case
sensitive. How about on Unix?
Glitches: CMake already generates an install_manifest.txt. gccxml has a
script file called cmake_install.cmake. Maybe a different word choice
is in order. For instance, CMakeHOWTO.txt, CMakeInstructions.txt, or
CMakeHelp.txt. Maybe alphebatization isn't the highest good, if the
price is name collisions with other "install" stuff. Hm, still,
INSTALL* would be much better for getting people to dump their Autoconf
INSTALL file. Grr. What about InstallWithCMake.txt? Looks nice, but
is it too long for command line hackers?
