Hm, I think it is *very* close to method 1, not method 2. What's wrong?

I don't have any strong sentiment concerning this. I guess it's easier
for users to have all READMEs in one place (/usr, because he/she will
search it himself) whereas man-pages and executables are searched by the
machine rather than by humans and can thus be placed in /usr/X11R6.
I won't move the README unless someone (preferrably a majority on this
list) tells me to.
Opinions?
Best regards,
Daniel
