That reads like a legal disclaimer, though it does provide useful 
information.

Also a mention that BlackHole needs a separate installation in the very 
section where BlackHole is mentioned in the Tour of Scheme in Gambit.  
That's where  a lot of people are likely to be reading when they decide 
they'd like to use BlackHole, so it's a logical place to mention it.    
Possibly with a link to the relevant page on the wiki.  There's a link 
for Gambit; if BlackHole is to be considered separate, there's no reason 
why it shouldn't have its own installation link.
