+takes too much time. If you want to experiment nonetheless, you can
+compile Proof General by typing 'make' in the directory where you
+installed it. This will result in lots of warnings and error messages
+most of which can be ignored. Some files cannot be properly
+byte-compiled at the moment because they contain settings which depend
+on run-time; these will be deleted by the Makefile. Use 'make clean'
+to remove all .elc files in case of problems. Check the Makefile sets
