Details

We are frequently asked by frustrated users to include a README file with our
binaires that explains how to start mozilla and gives minimum requirements. I
think if the file explained how to start mozilla and had a link to the release
notes, that would be adequate.

For milestone builds that people contribute, it would be nice if the build
system could also append build environment info to the readme listing what
options they built with and if its not difficult, maybe which versions of 
system libraries they linked against. The buildID should also be listed
here.

Build creators should also be able to add their own info to the readme.
