If you think that people ignore the README, just wait to see how many
people ignore this mail message....

If you desire this to be done (and I have not looked at it, but from
reading this email I don't have a problem with it) it should be
documented in the README file.  Otherwise next time I do my annual mtree
cleanout it will probably get nuked, since I will have forgotten
about this email by then.
