Attached filename is in line with README, INSTALL, ... put a file like this into the source directory?

In some cases it is rather simple in gschem like for example just decide what attribute name to use but in other case there might be good with more text about in particular implementation details. There might be need to list different algorithms, reference white papers or list advantages/disadvantages with different solutions. It would also be possible add an extra sub folder with documents for this purpose if necessary.
