 Replying to [comment:1 mloskot]:
 > There are Wiki pages explaining build procedure

 Wikis are fine for the long detailed procedures, but the purpose of the
 README file is to quickly look up the procedure without needing to start
 up a web browser and navigate to the web page. A README file is the first
 place I look after uncompressing source code, since it tells me what to do
 next.

 If anything, the README file could be shortened to remove Wiki-worthy
 content, but keep the basic build instructions.
