Hmm! Why can't Amiga Inc. officially ask Mueller at Aminet
to create a new top directory ? (with possible sub dirs?)
This would be better than messing with new readme headers.
Such a dir culd then easily be "dumped" to a dist cd.
Could someone approach Mueller about this?
Hell, he may even have a better idea :D
Material not intended just for Amiga dist should be placed
in the normal Aminet tree,
but a "AmigaDist" keyword could be put it the Distribution: header
with a corresponding "NoAmigaDist" keyword (just like the NoCD one)
Afterall, that IS what the Distribution: heading is for right? :D
