Major Description
In the dist, the README.txt file is not the same one as is in the root of a given version source tree.
We need to have not only the text Steve wrote but also the incubating disclaimer.
See below for both sets of text.
For alpha I will manually merge the two together before I create the archives.

Welcome to Beehive!
Apache Beehive is an effort undergoing incubation at the
Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Incubator
project. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects
until a further review indicates that the infrastructure,
communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a
manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While
incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the
completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the
project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
If you've come here to learn more about Beehive, here are a few
starting points:
BUILDING.txt: How to build Beehive on your machine.
DEVELOPING.txt Technical notes on contributing/committing files.
LICENSE.txt: The Apache License and any other relevant licenses
for this software.
NOTICE.txt: Attribution notices required by various
contributions.
Finally, please go to the Apache Beehive website, currently
located (while in incubation) at:
http://incubator.apache.org/beehive/.
There you will find an increasing number of resources to get started.

What is Beehive?
-----------
The goal of Beehive is to make J2EE programming easier by using JSR-175 metadata annotations
to simplify the most complex J2EE coding tasks. Beehive is divided into three
sub-projects:
Page Flows – Page Flows are built on top of Struts. The JSR-175 programming model
allows for automatic updating of Struts configuration files as well as
easy tooling inside of IDEs.
Controls – Controls are a framework for building lightweight J2EE components.
Web Services – The web services project implements JSR-181, a metadata annotation
driven programming model for web services.
Documentation
-------------
Complete documentation, including a users guide, tutorials, and instructions for running samples,
is available online at
http://incubator.apache.org/beehive/index.html
Reference documentation is available in the following distribution JAR
