Support rdoc's SimpleMarkup for README.txt
Reported by Kevin Ballard | April 25th, 2008 @ 06:03 PM
GitHub should attempt to parse README.txt with rdoc's SimpleMarkup. At the very least, do this if the RubyGem checkbox has been checked.

Is there any chance of this mangling a readme? .txt is a pretty explicit identifier for "text/plain", and we don't want to chance messing up a readme.

You could probably detect a SimpleMarkup file fairly easily by looking for a few common sections (such as '== DESCRIPTION:'). Yeah .txt generally means text/plain, but this was what Hoe wanted me to use.

I'm going to lump this under a .github config file.
