Installation fails for pkuthss on Windows

Hello everyone,

Running `tlmgr install pkuthss` fails (error messages at the botom
of this email) because (apparently) the program tries to create a
folder 'readme', but fails on Windows (apparently is case-insensitive)
because the name is already taken by the file 'README'.

I'd say the readme _folder_ should be renamed to something else.
The contents (judging by the file names) don't look too readme-y.
'examples', perhaps...

Best,
Phelype
