I'd agree with `README', except that `readme.txt' is pointed to by all the
source.  And I'm not sure Windows folk like these Unixy names.  You can't
double-click on extension-less files, right?

I'm okay for `readme.dj' -> `readdj.txt', etc.

I'd suggest `COMPILE' or `BUILD' to be about compiling Allegro, and `FAQ' to
be anything else.
