It's not about the generated tar balls (which are generated from SVN in
future), but about the CVS repository itself.

Not everybody reads the documents shipped with the code; if they would they
would have noticed that we moved (I think). So if you up you cvs repository
and suddenly everything but a single file is gone, you'd *have* to notice
that something's goind on :)
But I think yours and Matt's suggestions combined points to the best
direction with less work: I'll just add such a README file and make
Makefile.PL cat it and bail out afterwards.
Cheers,
Malte
