Nice text :)

What are people's thoughts about using something along these lines
(maybe with a slightly longer explanation of what spambayes is) as the
main "readme.txt" file?  The current readme is really for developers or
testers more than users (it could become readme-devel.txt or something
like that).

The clearest symptom from what I have seen is that the "Anti-Spam"
buttons don't appear and the log file will have a trace (or many) that
has:
  "'OptionsClass' object has no attribute 'skip_max_word_size'",
  "'module' object has no attribute 'DBDictClassifier'"
or
  "cannot import name tokenize"
in it.

The only workaround (AFAIK) is to install Python (if necessary) and use
either the cvs or (I think) alpha2.

As noted in the previous message, this needs to note that this is not
the case if using Mark's binary.
