then, surely, it should be on github, and not in the archive; a paragraph in the
'README' with repository url would suffice (to my thinking).

agree.  and that tarball will already have been downloaded.  so I'd be looking
for intro/overview + general instructions - only.

anyway, the whole thing makes me wonder why you .. bother.  *NIX-ness is not a
high priority for you, I feel, so why even have tarballs?  would just "git
clone" not be preferential?

(this rant is "tainted" -- probably -- by your mentioning that even the POV-Ray
development code resides "in the cloud" now rather than on own(ed) server(s))
