[publican-list] newbie observations on building publican from SVN

[Robert P. J. Day]

  from the perspective of someone who built publican from the repo for
the very first time a few minutes ago:

* the README file suggests i can get make help with one of "make help"
or "make help_params".  neither of those targets seem to be supported.

* the build on a fully-updated f11 x86_64 system generates numerous
"... Legal_Notice.po MISSING Using en-US file" warnings.  doesn't stop
the build, though.

* doing a straight "make" clearly attempts to *install* the
constructed rpm.  that's kind of unusual, isn't it?  i'm more used to
having to do that explicitly, with "make install".  only after i
looked at the Makefile did i see the more limited "make rpm" target.
