Much of the stuff in INSTALL that follows the "Special Notes for Rasberry Pi 
Installation" heading is actually about Debian and/or Wheezy.

I think it would be great if there was a what-to-install section for each 
major distro.  I'd be happy for that to be a separate file per distro.

Most of the stuff that is Raspberry Pi specific is actually about a specific 
hardware device, the Adafruit GPS HAT, which happens to only work on a 
Raspberry Pi.  I think it would be fine to split that out.  Some of the info 
might be helpful for setting up a homebrew PPS connection on a Pi.
