for optaining build tools. Currently we just have notes
for Fedora linux.

Doc improvements.
...
* README-hacking: Prefer the no-hyphen variant of git commands,
e.g., use "git pull" not "git-pull".
Don't presume that the only way to read this document is via a
prior git clone: provide instructions for cloning coreutils, too.
* README-hacking: Add "cd automake" in build instructions.
