There's some (admittedly limited) benefit to having such instructions
in tree. Is there any way this can be auto-generated from docbook
sources? We could easily add it to the release process.
Though I'm not super-bothered personally if you want to just make it a
link. The idea of installing internet software without an internet
connection is a bit weird.

That's fixable, though should be addressed on an individual basis. We
have "doc" people who have @php.net accounts and have never pushed a
diff in their lives. I'm sure someone with AVAIL karma can see to
their needs if they request php-src/doc karma.
