Special Update/Build Instructions
---------------------------------

TODO:

-  spkg-check is disabled for now, should work in the next release
   after 1.3.2.

-  Check whether ``make fullcheck`` works/builds, is worth running, and
   doesn't
   take ages. (Version 1.1.6 doesn't seem to have such a target.)
