That sounds like an excellent idea.  I'm just a bit worried about
spreading the information over too many places, and would rather split
content from logic and add these to pkg-descr as well next to the
current WWW.  I know we're not consistent already with things like
COMMENT and LICENSE already in the Makefile, so won't ojbect too much to
where these end up.
