Anyway, atleast we will be required a README.txt and CHANGES.txt
I would argue that those belong in the *package*, not in the "building" directory (the one containing 'setup.py'), because they are relelvant to users of the built egg, not just to the developer who checks out the whole thing. I know that distutils / setuptools complain if they find no 'README.txt ' next to setup.py: I ususally have a nearly empty one pointing "down" to the real one.
