0.31: Missing README makes autoreconf fail

[dvzrv]

Hi!

When building 0.31 from the tarball here on github and running autoreconf -vfi on the sources leads to:

Makefile.am: error: required file './README' not found
examples/Makefile.am: installing './depcomp'
parallel-tests: installing './test-driver'
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

Symlinking README.md to README beforehand fixes this issue, but stating README.md instead of README would probably be the way to go here. :)

Hi, thanks for the feedback, autogen.sh does this README.md to README copy/rename! Not sure if there's a way to coax autoreconf into handling it but if you ran it in the same folder after having previously build liblo, then README should be there. If you use the tarball release the renamed README is included. So I guess you ran autoreconf in a fresh clone where autogen.sh had never been run. If there's a better way to handle it I'm all ears!

It's not stated anywhere, just a "requirement" of automake.

Closing for now, if any concrete suggestions then feel free to re-open. In the meantime this issue can serve as documentation.
