Ok will submit new README and put a reminder note on the JIRA to update the packaging rules when applying the patch, as I am not familiar with how its done.

I would suggest combining README-dist and README-dev into a single README file, with the distribution stuff at the top and the dev stuff further down. I'm not sure why I split it up in the first place and it doesn't seem very helpful. The Makefile.am and qpid.spec packaging rules will need adjusting, I'll be happy to take care of it once you update the README if you're not familiar. Thanks again, Alan.
