... and that the Windows installer will get a working README, not only a symlink? You could move README.md to README and link that to README.md (as suggested by Paolo) - that would avoid such problems. I suggest to revert the README rename for the coming new release. It can be added again later, maybe with a few improvements like those in my branch https://github.com/stweil/qemu/tree/readme. For https://github.com/stweil/qemu/blob/readme/README.md, I removed tab characters, used underlining which also looks nice without markup formatting, used a uniform notification for links (so that they actually work as links) and marked code in the text.
