  FWIW, I took the habit of maintaining only one documentation source
  (in Texinfo format) and extracting README files and others (such as
  INSTALL) from there, hence also avoiding the maintenance of duplicate
  information.

  It's easy to extract specific chapters from an Info file. For
  instance, here's a Makefile target that I have in Clon:

INSTALL: doc/$(PROJECT)-user.info
        info --file=./doc/$(PROJECT)-user.info  \
             -n Installation                    \
             -n Configuration                   \
             -n 'Non-ANSI Features'             \
             -n 'Supported Platforms'           \
             --output=$@
        perl -pi -e 's/^File:.*\n//g' $@
