Yes, the How_to_build is indeed useful for me too, and your estimation
sounds the same to my case.
But a localized build needs another consideration to be taken into, like
the above 3 items, which are missing in the page.
For example, if you do not have translate-toolkit installed in advance,
running `make update-sdf` will just fail with a vague error messages.

Thanks for your suggestion.
I will try adding some of such gotchas to the wiki.
