Great idea!  Yes I like it.

All fine, except that you need to 'cd $(srcdir)' first in the make rule,
and you need to generate a copy from the bootstrap script before configure is
called.  Since bootstrap already hacks up some quick and dirty makefiles,
running 'make notes.txt' with an appropriate environment from the right point
in bootstrap should do the trick.

That done, please commit.

Cheers,
        Gary.
