Hey, this is a really good idea.  Would it be much of a chore to make the
package READMEs available on the Cygwin package search page, along with
the contents?  I'm mostly asking whether it'll create a space problem of
some sort, and whether the script that builds the package list files for
package-cat.cgi and package-grep.cgi could be made to also extract the
READMEs from the packages and link to them online.  FWIW, I couldn't find
that script in sourceware CVS -- I assume it's somewhere under infra/.
If someone points me to that script, I'm willing to give a shot to writing
the README extraction code.
