The ChangeLog, NEWS and README files are usually stored
in the bin zip files.  I do this using a script that
scans for those kind of files.  In the case of gdb and
binutils these are a lot of files.  I do not inspect
them very carefully; anyway nowadays most of those files
are not related to DJGPP anymore.  Next time I will try
to reduce them to libs and srcs directories.
