+Description:
+Add release instructions customized for the package.
+
+You should add a line like
+
+perl -pi -e "s/\@PACKAGE\@/$package/g" README-release
+
+to autogen.sh or bootstrap.conf's epilogue function to patch the
+package name in. This is particularly handy for making various URLs
+copy-and-pastable.
+
+Note that, as with any gnulib-tool supplied file, README-release can
+be customized via a .diff file. This is an easy way to add
+package-specific instructions.
