build: remove INSTALL.quagga.txt
It's horribly outdated & wrong info is worse than none. doc/install.texi should probably be updated instead. Signed-off-by: David Lamparter <equinox@opensourcerouting.org>

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Building and Installing Quagga from releases or snapshots:
-
-The 'INSTALL' file contains generic instructions on how to use 'configure'
-scripts.
-
-Quagga requires a C compiler (and associated header files and
-libraries) supporting the C99 standard.
-
-Quagga requires a reasonable make. It is considered a bug if quagga
-does not compile with the system make on recent FreeBSD, NetBSD or
-OpenBSD, and a very serious bug if it does not compile with GNU make.
-
-Quagga expects a POSIX.2 compliant system, more or less. Clean
-workarounds for POSIX non-compliance are welcome.
-
-It is considered a bug if Quagga fails to build and run on any of the
-following systems (where .x indicates the most recent release), or
-such systems "-current" versions. Or, it might be that this list is
-out of date and will be updated. (Note that considering it a bug is
-not a guarantee of support, merely "we agree that it is broken".)
-
- Dragonfly ?
- FreeBSD (stable branches currently supported, plus perhaps one)
- FreeBSD-current
- Linux [kernel/distribution information needed]
- NetBSD 4.x
- NetBSD 5.x
- NetBSD 6.x
- NetBSD-current
- OpenBSD ? [info needed on what should work]
- Solaris (modern/supported versions, including OpenSolaris forks)
-
-On BSD systems, installing libexecinfo is strongly recommended in order
-to get backtrace support.
-
-For further Quagga specific information on 'configure' and build-time
-configuration of the software, please read the Quagga info
-documentation, (doc/quagga.info). To read the info page included with
-the Quagga sources without first installing Quagga:
-
- cd doc
- # one of the following, depending on your info viewer preferences
- info quagga.info
- pinfo -r quagga.info
- emacs -eval '(info "quagga.info")'
-
-The Quagga website (http://www.quagga.net) currently has the info
-files available in various formats.
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Building Quagga from git checkouts:
-
-In order to build from git, you will need recent versions of several GNU
-tools, particularly autoconf, automake, libtool, GNU awk and texinfo. Note
-that the CVS snapshots on the Quagga website should not require these tools;
-everything is already setup ready to run 'configure'. If you have trouble
-building from CVS checkout it is recommended that you try a CVS snapshot
-instead.
-
-We declare that the following versions should work for building from
-CVS checkouts. Earlier versions may work, but failure to do so is not
-a bug. Required versions can be moved earlier if no problems, or
-later after a judgement that a system without a higher version is
-deficient is made.
-
- [TODO: this list is out of date as of 2013-07]
- automake: 1.9.6 (released 2005-07-10)
- autoconf: 2.59 (2.60 on 2006-06-26 is too recent to require)
- libtool: 1.5.22 (released 2005-12-18)
- texinfo: 4.7 (released 2004-04-10; 4.8 is not yet common)
-
-For running tests, one also needs:
-
- DejaGnu:
-
-[TODO: texinfo 4.6 is now ancient and this should be revisited/fixed]
-Because some systems provide texinfo 4.6 (4.7 is new), quagga.info is
-checked in so that texinfo will generally not be invoked. When
-texinfo 4.7 is widespread, quagga.info will be removed from CVS and
-texinfo will become required again. (4.7 has figure support, needed
-for the route server docs, which is why 4.6 doesn't work.)
-
-In order to create PostScript or PDF versions of the Texinfo documentation,
-you will need the convert utility, from the ImageMagick toolset installed,
-and epstopdf from the TeTeX suite.
-
-To create the required autotools files (Makefile.in, configure, etc.),
-run "./bootstrap.sh". After this you may run configure as for a
-snapshot or release.
-
-Please refer to "Building and Installing Quagga" above for further
-instructions.
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Notes on required versions:
-
-The general goal is to use a modern baseline of tools, while not
-imposing pain on those tracking supported (or almost supported) stable
-distributions. The notes below explain what versions are present in
-various environments.
-
-NetBSD 4 provides texinfo 4.7.
-NetBSD 5 and 6 provides texinfo 4.8
-
-Fedora Core ? provides autoconf 2.59.
-
-OpenBSD 3.6 provides texinfo 4.2.
-OpenBSD [3.6] ports provides automake 1.4-p6 autoconf 2.5.9 libtool 1.5.8
