INSTALL: Remove obsolete notes about line endings, and fix some typos.

  WinZip is known to create some subtle and hard to debug problems,
  such as converting files to DOS CR-LF format, not creating empty
  directories, etc.  We suggest to use djtarnt.exe from the GNU FTP
  site.

  If you are building out of Bazaar, then some files in this directory
  (.bat files, nmake.defs and makefile.w32-in) may need the line-ends
  fixing first.  The easiest way to do this and avoid future conflicts
  is to run the following command in this (emacs/nt) directory:

     ### FIXME: Not sure if Bazaar needs line-ending fixing the   ###
     ### way CVS did.  Will someone who knows please update this? ###

  Alternatively, use programs that convert end-of-line format, such as
  dos2unix and unix2dos available from GnuWin32 or dtou and utod from
  the DJGPP project.

  Additionally, the files lisp/international/uni-*.el and
  lisp/ldefs-boot.el need Unix line ends due to some embedded ^M
  characters that are not at the end of the line.  So in the
  lisp/international directory you should run the following command, or
  use dos2unix on those files.

     ### FIXME: Not sure if Bazaar needs line-ending fixing the   ###
     ### way CVS did.  Will someone who knows please update this? ###

  and in the lisp directory, use the command:

     ### FIXME: Not sure if Bazaar needs line-ending fixing the   ###
     ### way CVS did.  Will someone who knows please update this? ###

  In addition to this file, you should also read INSTALL.BZR in the
  parent directory, and make sure that you have a version of
  "touch.exe" in your path, and that it will create files that do not
  yet exist.

  If you use the MinGW port of GCC and GNU Make to build Emacs, there
  are some compatibility issues wrt Make and the shell that is run by
  Make, either the standard COMMAND.COM/CMD.EXE supplied with Windows
  or sh.exe., a port of a Unixy shell.  For reference, below is a list
  of which builds of GNU Make are known to work or not, and whether
  they work in the presence and/or absence of sh.exe, the Cygwin port
  of Bash.  Note that any version of Make that is compiled with Cygwin
  will only work with Cygwin tools, due to the use of cygwin style
  paths.  This means Cygwin Make is unsuitable for building parts of
  Emacs that need to invoke Emacs itself (leim and "make bootstrap",
  for example).  Also see the Trouble-shooting section below if you
  decide to go ahead and use Cygwin make.

* Optional image library support

  In addition to its "native" image formats (pbm and xbm), Emacs can
  handle other image types: xpm, tiff, gif, png, jpeg and experimental
  support for svg.
  To build Emacs with support for them, the corresponding headers must
  be in the include path when the configure script is run.  This can
  be setup using environment variables, or by specifying --cflags
  -I... options on the command-line to configure.bat.  The configure
  script will report whether it was able to detect the headers.  If
