The installer building docs should probably go somewhere else but they don't need to be in the README

### Building Official Installers
This is a reminder for how official installers should be built:
* Please include the id patch pk3s in your installer, which are available
from http://ioquake3.org/patch-data/ subject to agreement to the id
EULA. Your installer shall also ask the user to agree to this EULA (which
is in the /web/include directory for your convenience) and subsequently
refuse to continue the installation of the patch pk3s and pak0.pk3 if they
do not.
* Please don't require pak0.pk3, since not everyone using the engine
plans on playing Quake 3 Arena on it. It's fine to (optionally) assist the
user in copying the file or tell them how.
* It is fine to just install the binaries without requiring id EULA agreement,
providing pak0.pk3 and the patch pk3s are not referred to or included in the
installer.
* Please include at least a libSDL2 so/dylib/dll on every platform.
* Please include an OpenAL so/dylib/dll, since every platform should be using
it by now.
* Please be prepared to alter your installer on the whim of the maintainers.
* Your installer will be mirrored to an "official" directory, thus making it
a done deal.

# Building Official Installers
We need help getting automated installers on all the platforms that ioquake3
supports. We don't necessarily care about all the installers being identical,
but we have some general guidelines:
* Please include the id patch pk3s in your installer, which are available
from http://ioquake3.org/patch-data/ subject to agreement to the id
EULA. Your installer shall also ask the user to agree to this EULA (which
is in the /web/include directory for your convenience) and subsequently
refuse to continue the installation of the patch pk3s and pak0.pk3 if they
do not.
* Please don't require pak0.pk3, since not everyone using the engine
plans on playing Quake 3 Arena on it. It's fine to (optionally) assist the
user in copying the file or tell them how.
* It is fine to just install the binaries without requiring id EULA agreement,
providing pak0.pk3 and the patch pk3s are not referred to or included in the
installer.
* Please include at least a libSDL2 so/dylib/dll on every platform.
* Please include an OpenAL so/dylib/dll, since every platform should be using
it by now.
* Please be prepared to alter your installer on the whim of the maintainers.
* Your installer will be mirrored to an "official" directory, thus making it
a done deal.
