mention CVS-INFO for more info when checked out from CVS

removed old section about problems with old autoconfs, I don't think that
happens anymore

    If you want to install curl in a different file hierarchy than /usr/local,

-   KNOWN PROBLEMS (these ones should not happen anymore)

-     If you happen to have autoconf installed, but a version older than 2.12
-     you will get into trouble. Then you can still build curl by issuing these
-     commands (note that this requires curl to be built staticly): (from Ralph
-     Beckmann)
-
-       ./configure [...]
-       cd lib; make; cd ..
-       cd src; make; cd ..
-       cp src/curl elsewhere/bin/

-     As suggested by David West, you can make a faked version of autoconf and
-     autoheader:
-
-       ----start of autoconf----
-       #!/bin/bash
-       #fake autoconf for building curl
-       if [ "$1" = "--version" ] then
-         echo "Autoconf version 2.13"
-       fi
-       ----end of autoconf----
-
-     Then make autoheader a symbolic link to the same script and make sure
-     they're executable and set to appear in the path *BEFORE* the actual (but
-     obsolete) autoconf and autoheader scripts.
