That file was traditionally in the binary releases of Windows, and similarly 
for OS/2 and DJPGG. It's just in the respective zip package, not anywhere in 
the CVS.

Maybe all of them could go to cvs; then I propose there is a separate 
directory e.g. README.misc, where all of the would reside. There are already 
too many READMEs and INSTALLs in the root.

BTW, there should be README.cvs with a hint to run ./prepare before 
./configure + link to web... or, a copy of section "Building from CVS" from
http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/development/index.html
