OK, in principal I agree.  The trouble is that a lot of these were  
just place holders.  For example,
in r72589 just deleted a one-line README.txt.  r72588 deleted a  
README.txt that really only had one useful line of data and a lot of  
data that would have needed to be deleted.  In retrospect, I guess we  
should have cut this to one line. The CHANGES.txt file was  
effectively empty.  I looked at some other examples that were even  
worse.

I'll ask Alex to look at the README.txt files and CHANGES.txt files  
that were deleted to see if there are any that should be brought back.

Ah, OK. I should have seen that,
