This is true, but I think it would be helpful if we specifically pointed the
user there for the how-to-compile-from-source instructions, since it's
otherwise not very obvious.

In fact, the "compilation from source" section of qemu-doc.texi is
pretty badly out of date in several ways. It would probably be better
to extract it into a separate COMPILING plain text file, since it's
also not very friendly to require somebody compiling QEMU to have
either network access or to read raw .texi sources (and conversely
if you've got a pre-compiled QEMU then you don't have any interest
in reading stuff about configure and make).
