Just wanted to say that I agree with the idea of a readme.txt in the
package directory. For quite some time we have been in a need of a
place to store some documentation/informations/details about different
packages, and we currently don't have a good place for that. The
manual? There's no chapter for it, and it puts the information a bit
"far" from the package itself. In the Config.in help text? Works fine
for short text, but not really suitable for longer explanations.

So, +1 for readme.txt in package directories, of course when there's
something useful to say about the package.
