Can't seem to find that Readme.  I started from here:
http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Download

Following the only 1.5.0 pointer on that page I got as far as this 
page and then things just stalled. Working from my Slackware 
partition and using Firefox 4. 

http://scribus.net/websvn/listing.php?repname=Scribus&path=%2Ftrunk%2FScribus%2Fwin32%2F&rev=#ad0b0630b8f4859cb116bc105a5ca4b02

Nothing seems to work beyond that point.

Now why am I fussing about 1.5.0 and Windows? Well 1.5.0 has
one vital feature to all users of the POD printer LSI, the availablilty
of PDF X/1-a:2001 output. And while 1.5.0 is available for Linux 
users (I update it every night) it does not seem to be readily 
available to Win users. And Win users make up a large part of the 
market of  my p-book which will replace my e-book listed below.

So my thanks to Craig and a.l.e but I am not there yet.
