People are running into issues when mixing cloog built against isl 0.08
and gcc building against isl 0.10 (which is expected I guess).

Thus, clarified and committed.

Richard.

	* doc/install.texi (CLooG): Clarify how CLooG needs to be
	configured and that it needs to be built against ISL 0.10.

why is this necessary? Even with this option I end up with a dependency on the
system gmp library. Or do you need to configure --with-gmp=build explicitly? Or
how can the system gmp be built that it can be used by cloog?

CLooG can use ints instead of gmp as number representation, we need it to
use gmp.  This is orthogonal to how CLooG gets to its gmp implementation
which we do not care for.
