I would perhaps at least eliminate some of the frequent 'port XXX won't
compile and it complains about objformat...'

Though trying to eliminate the other problems (install-info, ldconfig)
would be something to look into, but other then testing for the release
the user is using, I can't think of anything of the top of my head.

Also, on the subject of documentation, I have been working on that
Makefile variable/macro documentation (Hi Tim!), and hopefuly will have
that finished in a couple weeks.
