I've done that for now, and thanked Matt for this input:
https://github.com/biopython/biopython/commit/b7d0fcb252ffbe7eb76f6abb51375a18d447096a

The new read-me file rendering on GitHub hopefully makes a better

The current manifest file should be fine as it is (and not include the
new symlink in the release files).

Thanks Matt,

Peter
