Not release notes, as that's just the latest perldelta, but it sounds 
reasonable to put it in the post-installation tasks for the PCSI kit.  I'll 
look into it.

Those refer to files in the source distribution.  The file that I'm 
distributing as release notes is just the perldelta.pod documentation file that 
documents changes since the previous release.  I can understand the confusion 
of having files mentioned that are not in the binary kit, but it's not a 
platform-specific problem.  Not sure what a reasonable solution is.

You can always get the license like this:

$ perldoc Artistic
