Split into two patches, one for cryptominisat and one for kissat.

Always state why tests are disabled.

"Incremental SAT solver" is probably enough.

I'd shorten this to "CryptoMiniSat is an incremental SAT solver with
three interfaces: command-line, C++ library and Python".

Doesn't that technically make it a fourth interface?

You probably want to (apply invoke "./configure" configure-flags).

Is this the only thing to install?

"Bare-metal SAT solver" probably suffices.

"bare metal SAT solver" again probably suffices.  If you want to be
generous with advertising terms, clean may be added, but I don't think
it adds useful information.
