Instead of adding a new file, place the URL to the wiki page here.
Ok. Done.

This makes no sense to me. Copying the text just means we have to maintain the same information in two places, which never works.
My thought was that no matter _what_ you do you have to maintain the same information in two places -- the wiki url is subject to change and any files in the source distribution will have to be updated as the url changes. Since we have to periodically bring the source distribution in line with the wiki anyway, may as well copy the relvent text as well. It's hardly any more work to keep up to date and at least the person with the source will always have something, presumably more useful that an outdated url, at hand. The wiki text will change more rapidly than the url; my thought was that the current text will remain useful regardless and if the url is referenced there's always the option of getting something more current.
