FYI: cleanup top-level files

Subject: FYI: cleanup top-level files

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

The porting from my recent branch-1_4 activity begins.

The GNU Coding Standards recommend against non-ASCII encodings except in
ChangeLog (and by implication, THANKS).  At any rate, UTF-8 is more
portable these days than ISO-8859 or Latin1, in case we get future
contributors that cannot be spelled appropriately in those encodings.
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Character-Set

I also saw some other cruft worth updating.  Sorry about all the raw email
addresses in the patch.

2006-06-10  Eric Blake  <address@hidden>

        * README-alpha: Update web address.
        * README: Likewise. Change encoding to ASCII.  Remove old advice
        about cygwin.  Document bootstrapping dependency.
        * AUTHORS: Update from branch-1_4.
        * THANKS: Likewise.  Change encoding to UTF-8.
        * BACKLOG: Delete.  This file is too old and unmaintained to be
        worthwhile.
        * ChangeLog: Change encoding to UTF-8.
