THIRD_PARTY_README mangled

[Kelly O'Hair]

I recall some issues needing to be fixed in these files, I would hate to
loose those fixes, whatever they were.

The question is, do they all need to be the same, or can they be
allowed to drift independently.
Some of these repositories have a degree of independence, and some
of the information in this readme doesn't apply to all repositories.

Not sure it's fair to RE to make them responsible for keeping all
7 copies merged, so if it's 'one', anyone changing the file will need
to change all 7 copies.

I'm not sure where the original copy came from, but it's generally
not an accepted policy to reformat these things, although I did see
some strange non-printing characters in these files in the past.
