      The install docs are currently split into several top-level sections:

      • Installing libmongoc via package manager
      • Installing libbson via package manager
      • Building on Unix
      • Building on macOS
      • Building on Windows (various configurations)

      The Unix and macOS sections discuss how to obtain the driver sources from a release tarball, but this isn't specified for Windows. Also, some Windows-specific commands appear under the Unix section.

      roberto.sanchez proposed we reorganize the documentation under the following sections:

      • Getting the code
        • From Git (and generating version info)
        • Release tarball
      • Building the code
        • Subsection for each platform

      Package installation instructions can likely remain as a separate, top-level section since that would bypass steps to download code and compile.
