Please do not expect a "quantum leap" from release 0.0.1 ;-)

Please explain more precisely, where INSTALL lacks some information, like you 
did below.

Ok, this will be mentioned in a later release of INSTALL.

Well, X11 should not be a requirement (ok, at the moment, it links against 
X11, but a later cleanup will drop that). You can also use fbxine (I'm not 
shure, if I recall it correctly) for accessing a framebuffer without X11.

You are right.

Well, no need for X11 if you know how to use fbxine (I haven't tried it yet).
