install.rst (reStructuredText documentation)

[Grégory Vanuxem]

Hello,

Working on several things about documentation I noticed that, at least
in src/doc/sphinx/source/install.rst, there are still references to
FriCAS 1.3.9 and not 1.3.11. What about updating those?

Also, I think the Nightly builds section can be removed since those
builds are no longer generated as far as I know. See
https://fricas.org/download.html or
https://fricas.github.io/download.html

Nightly builds are still being generated, can you check it again?

I think the 1.3.9 reference is mainly hsbcl-1.3.9.tar.
That hunchentoot included sbcl is not updated for every release.

I saw your PR on integrating hunchentoot into configure.ac.
That could be a good move, but I think integrating only quicklisp
might be a better first move.


To Ralf: BTW, do you know why "installation" is not in the left section
"Table of Contents"? Instead the link to "installation" is at the
bottom of page "Download".

Yes, my fault, sorry. It is chronological, I was expecting a reverse
order like changelog files.

You mean the '--with-quicklisp' in the configure.ac for LISPs
implementations that supports it? Actually the configure only checks
SBCL for quicklisp support in this PR. It is/was designed for
hunchentoot. BTW, Thanks Ralf (and Kurt) for this piece of code for
the build machinery. I also use it for a concurrent queue package for
Clozure CL, SBCL has its own in the contrib directory.
