[vorbis] A Top Level README for the nightly CVS snapshot

I ran into a dependency problem while compiling the CVS snapshot which
did not occur while compiling the beta 3 tarballs. For some missing 
resources, autogen.sh echoes very helpful messages (such as if automake 
is not present), but there was no indication that the kdelibs-devel 
package was required for ao (in order to get artsc.h into /usr/include - 
I'm sure it is possible to edit the configure file to get around this 
for those not using vorbis with arts).

Perhaps it would be useful to include a README in the top level of the
.tgz file (which currently expands into 5 directories with README's under
each directory) which explains the system requirements (for Linux - 
automake, libtool, etc.) needed to get the whole thing working and simple
instructions (type autogen.sh, make, make install in the directories
ao/, ogg/ vorbis/ vorbis-tools/ and optionally, vorbis-plugins/).

p.s. it was libao, libogg, and libvorbis in the beta, but the CVS drops 
the lib from these names - which is preferred?
