opendylan2019 README
README talks about opendylan2014 in some places (e.g. directory paths :-)

It's unfortunate that things like that happen during releases. FWIW the compiler thinks that it's 2019:
// from ./sources/lib/release-info/common-info.dylan
define constant $release-version = "2019.1";
For the record we're talking about https://github.com/dylan-lang/opendylan/blob/master/build/packages/unix/README here. I guess there's no point fixing this until the next release though.
Note that the release checklist does mention updating that file, so this is "just" human error. Would be great to automate this a bit...
In particular it would be nice if we could generate the README that gets included in the package from https://github.com/dylan-lang/opendylan/blob/master/README.rst
(I tried to investigate this but wasn't immediately able to find a recipe for doing single-file reStructuredText to plain text conversion.)

Not sure if this helps: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1192632/how-to-convert-restructuredtext-to-plain-text

rst -> html -> w3m/lynx/links/elinks or html2txt -> txtbut requires install additional programs.
It seems to me these days the README need not be anything more than "welcome, and installation instructions are at https://github.com/dylan-lang/opendylan/blob/v2019.1.0/README.rst". (Note the URL is pegged to the specific release.) Is there a reasonable scenario where the user doesn't have network access anymore, presumably after just having downloaded the release?
(Obviously the README.rst would have to change a little.)
