    Issue 5870: add reference to GNU documentation in INSTALL.
    
    We are not going to duplicate the whole autotools documentation. Let's
    rather just state we follow the GNU build standards, hence refer to
    relevant documentation with a link.

 The file `configure.ac' is used as a template to create `configure' by
 a program called `autoconf'.  You will only need it if you want to
 regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.

+=======================
+
+GIMP uses the autotools build system which follows the GNU coding
+standards. In particular all usual standard targets are obviously
+supported (e.g. `make uninstall` for uninstalling) as well as common
+variables and options, cross-compilation host and target, etc.
