Thanks! With the 2.0 beta I'm a little busy to apply it just at the moment 
- there are a few pedantic issues like missing ChangeLog files, inaccurate 
DESCRIPTION headers at the tops of files and so on, but I've yet to do a 
detailed review.

Perhaps it may also be good to have a README.txt in an appropriate doc 
subdirectory of one or both of the pacakges listing the issues like you 
mentioned in the mail?

That's fine. I'll apply that as well.
