README.txt is a Unix file format
The binary distributions ship both README and README.txt - with README.txt clearly being intended as a help for Windows users. As a result, it would make much more sense for README.txt to have Windows line endings as opposed to the UNIX line endings (which it currently has)
The default .txt viewier on Windows is notepad, which doesn't like UNIX line endings, and puts the entire file on one line, without word wrap, and with silly characters around the place.
