Hi Maurilio,

what about leaving current name and only adding a .txt extension to them?

Yes, that was my original proposition.

ChangeLog -> CHANGES.txt
COPYING -> COPYING.txt
INSTALL -> INSTALL.txt
TODO -> TODO.txt

By using above names I think we keep the familiar uppercase
look and naming, so it will not be a problem for anyone to
recognize them.

Except for ChangeLog, but with it there is another pending issue
which I mixed into above renaming plan, namely that it's not 8.3,
so it causes a permanent struggle with MS-DOS builds.

I don't like it too much, because for some reason ChangeLog is
the de facto name of such files, but I also don't like the
various hacks this implies and they tend to pop up each time
when you least expect it. We've lost a lot of precious time
because of it.

Brgds,
Viktor
