[Inkscape-devel] autogen.sh fails because it can't find README

This could be on GNU/Linux only, but I went ahead and built again today, and autogen.sh stopped cold with the complaint that it couldn't find README. I noticed that CVS is packing README.txt now instead, so I simply renamed it to README and all was good. Still, where the heck did this come from? autogen needs README? And why is it getting packed as a *.txt now? (Sorry, windows users. I haven't saved with a *.txt extension for a while now.)

Just thought I'd call attention to this for future reference.
