This states that if the user has already installed a packaged version of infra/cmake/beman-install-library-config.cmake, they can omit -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=./infra/cmake. However, no such packaged version exists; the only way to use it currently is through the vendored copy, so this note is not useful in practice. We can restore it when beman-install-library-config is packaged.

I remain skeptical amateurs clock the meaning of these words one way or another, and experts don't need us to explain when or what goes in CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.

So I'm pro-removal.
