Great!

Would the following work, have three files:

   + a single README just for the download
   + a zipped archive of the existing READMEs
   + the VM

The RELEASE-NOTES.txt has this:

The "*.ova" file in this directory is a Virtual Machine (VM) built and
tested on a Windows 7 64-bit host of Oracle's VirtualBox (using
version 4.1.10: http://virtualbox.org/).  The VM contains a turn-key
BRL-CAD development environment.

We could embellish that I guess.  How about getting feedback from the
students who have used the VM?

Cheers!
