I really disagree with this "don't edit README.md in the root" business. All we're really gaining is version number interpolation? (embedding the LICENSE and CHANGELOG.md are not "features", imo). Embedding the version number in the top header looks sloppy. Separating the editing of README.md from README.md breaks the ability for people to make easy pull requests, or editing from the web to fix a typo (due to the build step).

Boom, done. (alongside the [TravisCI](https://travis-ci.org/) badge, too, eh?)
