This is a verbatim copy of text in Glib's and Gtk2's README.  It's not
correct anymore: Glib, Gtk2 and Pango are not in beta.

It doesn't reflect the state of the art anymore, which would have you
use INSTALL_BASE instead of PREFIX, or simply local::lib.  But this
state of the art might change again in the future.  So yeah, I think it
makes sense to simply remove that portion.
