In the light of the point made by @DocOtak 
(https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions/issues/221#issuecomment-562369361),
 I'm happy to drop the idea of sub-directories, and just put the file 
`conformance.adoc` in the same top-level directory as the other conventions' 
`*.adoc` files.

The idea of putting the conformance document as an appendix to the main 
conformance document is tempting, but I think that it should remain separate. 
This is because (quoting from 
http://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-documents/requirements-recommendations/requirements-recommendations-1.7.html):

_"This document is intended to be a concise summary of the CF Conventions 
document. If there are any discrepencies between the two, the conventions 
document is the ultimate authority."_

The conventions shouldn't contain a summary of itself that may disagree with 
itself! (Thanks to @RosalynHatcher for highlighting this.)

@marqh Thank you very much for your offer of help with the Travis stuff - much 
appreciated
