What is sufficient is to run "make info" or "make dvi" in the relevant
directory after it has been configured.  The simplest way is to run a
"make bootstrap" until it starts building in the relevant directory, then
stop it and run "make info" and "make dvi".

Do you mean about how to build just documentation (belongs maybe in the
internals manual, not in a miscellaneous README; we've tried to get rid of
miscellaneous READMEs), or as an adjunct to the documentation on
contributing (belongs with that documentation on the website)?
