README out of sync with README.md

[aspiers]

I just noticed the repo has both a README and a README.md, and they are not in sync. So I would suggest to ensure that README.md has everything which is in README, and then either:

1. scrap README, or
2. tweak Makefile.am so that README is auto-generated from README.md via a Markdown renderer.

The second option has the disadvantage of introducing an extra build-time dependency, and given that Markdown was deliberately designed to be a nice human-readable format, I'm not sure it's worth having a plain-text README at all. So personally I think the first option is better, but it's up to you.

Either way, I'm willing to do the work if you let me know what you prefer!
