This seems valid to me. Did I make it clear that the documents

share/doc/vilearn is the correct location then I will go with
that - you're the boss :-)

It was also suggested to me that we could display the message once,
at install time, rather than at the end of every vilearn session. Do
you think that would honour the authors' intentions, without bugging
everyone to death?
