Good catch! Thank you for reporting.
I propose to add the following (or similar) to INSTALL.
I'd prefer to put utf8proc toward the top of "Dependencies in Detail"
because it is a required dependency. Currently I added it at the end,
item 24. Moving it up will renumber most of the items. Should I do
that?
