INSTALL pulls the release number from configure.in, or configure.

I have:
Lynx Version 2.8.3rel.1 (23 Apr 2000)
Built on bsdi4.3 Jun 5 2001 12:07:55
and I see postgresql.org has:
Lynx Version 2.8.5dev.16 (01 Jun 2003)
libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.7b
Built on freebsd4.8 Sep 1 2003 04:28:28
The only problem with removing HISTORY from CVS is that we will not have
an easily reable list of release changes _until_ we package the release.
Perhaps we should keep HISTORY in CVS, but regenerate it on tarball
packaging, and INSTALL too.
