Great!  Now we're getting somewhere.  I see where you're coming from.  All
of these uses are minor, secondary, and fully worthy of shoving this
information way way into some labyrinthine maze of folders--how about
docs/legacy/ or something like that.  I don't see a reason to put this
info in the top level directory, certainly not in the first file people
look at.

Actually, most of these reasons seem to support shipping the original docs
only with the source to MacPerl, but disk space is cheap.

What about this arrangement?
