Naturally, I forgot to attach the diffs as promised.
They are below.

You can also see them online, if you prefer colorization, etc.
HTML diff:

Text diff:
http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/readme-txt.dir/README.EN?r1=50352&r2=53450

(Many of the changes are just because I added a link to MacTeX, hence
all subsequent links got renumbered.) --thanks/sorry, karl.
