That sounds like an excellent idea. I'm just a bit worried about spreading the information over too many places, and would rather split content from logic and add these to pkg-descr as well next to the current WWW. I know we're not consistent already with things like COMMENT and LICENSE already in the Makefile, so won't ojbect too much to where these end up.
