    Added mirror setup hints & removed webmaster@ address
    
    Some of the recently proposed ftp mirrors are lacking README files
    and are configured incorrectly. THe hints can help to avoid this.
    
    The webmaster@ alias is most likely not read by anyone anymore,
    posting to the gimp-developer list is much more useful for anyone
    who wants to contact us. If gimp-web will become active ever again,
    we can change it to that list.
