Quick Start Guide
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 1) Install the required dependencies from Cabal.
      $ cabal install `make show-pkgs`

 2) Build everything.
      $ make

 3) Build just the new (non-alpha) compiler, and run its regression tests.
      $ make war

 4) Build everything and run all regresssion tests in all ways.
      $ make totalwar

 5) Build a single test program and run it.
      $ bin/ddc test/ddc-main/20-CoreLite/99-Defib/03-Reverse/Main.dcl
      $ test/ddc-main/20-CoreLite/99-Defib/03-Reverse/Main

      NOTE: You need to run tests from the top-level directory so that
            DDC can find its runtime system .so under code/

 6) Build that same program with optimisations and dump intermediate code.
      $ bin/ddc test/ddc-main/20-CoreLite/99-Defib/03-Reverse/Main.dcl -O -dump

      Now look at the .dump files in test/ddc-main/20-CoreLite/99-Defib/03-Reverse/
