Gary, is it possible to implement this to your plugin repository?
Basically if uploaded ZIP contains a specified file, e.g. README, it
will allow you to download it (without downloading the whole plugin)
or view it in plugin repository web.

Actually, when uploading a plugin you can set a home page for it...
isn't this exactly what you mean?
