Made the readme pretty for github.

-Welcome to Cython!
-=================
-
-Cython (http://cython.org) is a language that makes writing C extensions for
-the Python language as easy as Python itself.  Cython is based on the
-well-known Pyrex, but supports more cutting edge functionality and
-optimizations.
-
-The Cython language is very close to the Python language, but Cython
-additionally supports calling C functions and declaring C types on variables
-and class attributes.  This allows the compiler to generate very efficient C
-code from Cython code.
-
-This makes Cython the ideal language for wrapping external C libraries, and
-for fast C modules that speed up the execution of Python code.
-
-LICENSE:
-
-The original Pyrex program was licensed "free of restrictions" (see
-below).  Cython itself is licensed under the permissive
-
-   Apache License
-
-See LICENSE.txt.
-
-
---------------------------
-
-Note that Cython used to ship the full version control repository in its source
-distribution, but no longer does so due to space constraints.  To get the
-full source history, make sure you have git installed, then step into the
-base directory of the Cython source distribution and type
-
-    make repo
-
-Alternatively, check out the latest developer repository from
