Hello, all!
I'm seeing a clash of intentions with packaging/win32/inkscape.nsi (as of revision 1.14) and Makefile.mingw (as of revision 1.49.)
inkscape.nsi is looking for "inkscape/README", while Makefile.mingw only copies "README.*" in the dist target.
I suggest changing Makefile.mingw to allow README to be copied by dropping the dot in the filename.
I noticed this now that I make'd clean. If I have obsolete revisions of the involved files, please let me know.
Greetings!

On windows it is not nice to have files with no extension like README (and having files with unknown extensions isn't particularly pleasant either) although it isn't too difficult to work around if you know what you are doing. I would hope Inkscape would avoid the problem and I hope things could be adjusted to allow the windows version to have ReadMe.txt

We've actually got README.[lang].txt already, and I would've renamed README to README.txt too except that (IIRC) automake insists on the former.
Which isn't to say that there might not be a way around that, I admittedly didn't mess with it further.
