ropp_tools make dist requires README file in doc directory

Description
make dist with ropp_tools does not work since it is expecting a README file in the doc directory. I could not find the line where this is wrongly included in the Makefile, thus I just generated this file in the doc directory. Once a solution is found, this file can be removed.
Sorry, no time to look more in detail into this...

Okay, had another look. I did of course see the README in the Makefile.am in the first place, removed it, went through autoconf and automake again but the make dist still didn't work. Did commit it since my testing always takes a fresh copy from the svn repository to start with and I wanted to get the sun working.
Redid the steps now again and it works. Might have been a problem with some older Makefile. I am juggling several versions at the same time here. So close ticket now.
By the way, the README file had some content...
Sorry,
an oversight of mine. The Makefile.am in that directory had accidentally a requirement for a README. The correct way to handle this is to comment that line out.
Then, in the future, if there's not even time to do a less Makefile.am in the same directory, don't make changes.
Could you change the Makefile.am, remove the README, rebuild the build system, and check it in again, please? Or provide some content in the README so that user's don't get empty ones?
