It would also be a big help if the readme files were current with regard to
the items that are in the experimental directory. I do appreciate appending
i386 or mips so one can tell to which processor the patch applies. One should
not have to download something to determine if it applies to their system. For
example, a readme for secureweb-devel-3.0-1.mips.rpm would give one an idea of
what the rpm does. I'd really like to see a rpm file and a readme file for
each one, i.e., secureweb-devel-3.0-1.mips.readme.

Thanks.
