The directory is empty by default as that's where some temporary files are put during testing. Should have a text file in there explaining this fact.

Attaching a proposal.

I think the component is a grey area between tests and documentation, so I’d be for including this file in all four branches.

By the way, is this file picked up by Tools/msi/msi.py?

Temporarily reopening so that Martin can decide whether he wants to add Lib/test/data/README to msi.py

All README files are automatically packages, and so is this one.
