instructions for new users... no readable README?

Now that we have a working xmltv.exe,  Today I looked at the "gmake 
windows_dist" script that used to build the windows distribution.
Previously, a separate README.Win32 existed, which was converted to a 
README.TXT in the zip file.   I figured it would be easier to have the 
Windows README simply reference the main readme and quickstart to make 
it easier.

Well, there isn't a "readable"  README file in the source distribution 
any more!!!  There is the README.md, but that's not a very human 
readable.  Should it be converted to README.html or README.txt??  I 
assume there are tools to do that.   I'm not sure it's a good idea to 
assume people read the README on github.

What sort of "flow" do we expect new users to follow to learn about how 
to use the project?
