There's already a pointer specifically to n/p in the top-level README file.
What is really needed is a "Troubleshooting Guide" document, both as
something that would be very useful in general and as the best place to
put a pointer saying "look at n/p if it doesn't work after installation".

I'm thinking about this.  It may happen as part of makefile revisions.
One problem is that some of the regression tests -- notably the one for
dbz, unfortunately! -- can take quite a while to run.
