thanks, committed the two, I simplified the pkg_delete command and
replaced the UTF-8 chars in readme.

for future reference, it's easier to deal with a complete diff though

the www tree is available on cvs. if it goes there at all I'd prefer to
point at the pkg-readme rather than replicate it, but personally I think
the pkg-readme is enough. no objection if someone else wants to add it
though.
