Hey whatever. Let's just keep a rendered TXT version where it always
(ie. in the src/release... cvs) was but keep the originial as a sgml
version in the doc tree.

Just like ports/INDEX. Only better.

I think it is important to solve the duplication problem we have. It
would be very sad to see a release go out with a wrong X.X-RELEASE
header in the README.TXT file, has it almost happened, if I'm not
mistaken. :)
