In this directory you can type one of the following:

  make

    - compiles a precompiled (see below) idst compiler
    - compiles the runtime support (gc and 'id' object model)
    - compiles a trivial example program with it
      (see example/00_README for instructions on running the example)
                   
  make compiler

    - as above, but omits the cheezoid example program
                   
  make bootstrap

    - performs a classic three-stage compiler bootstrap:
      1) compiles a 'stage1' compiler from sources using a cross compiler
         written in an entirely different language;
      2) compiles a 'stage2' compiler from source using the 'stage1' compiler;
      3) compiles a 'stage3' compiler from source using the 'stage2' compiler;
      4) compares the output from stages 2 and 3 to make sure they're identical;
      5) promotes the 'stage3' compiler source into your official precompiled
         compiler source (see above)
        
The example is pretty bogus.  The main reason it's here is to provide
a template for creating your own pograms.
