-= Quirky things about the build system =-

* The Makefile wraps the standard Cabal setup script; the Makefile is
  a convinience for bootstrapping the system. "sudo make install"
  should handle HUnit, generate the setup script, configure, build,
  install, and register it in a standard location.

* HUnit is included both as a test case for Cabal, and because Cabal
  uses HUnit for testing.  Don't panic.

* HUnit also uses the standard setup script interface, and has to get
  installed and registered before you can build the setup for Cabal.
  The install target of the Makefile does everything in the right
  order.

-= Your Help =-

Portability is one of the most important things about this project.
We don't expect the early releases to work on every system, but it
should work on YOUR system!  If it doesn't please help us figure out
why, and write a patch and test case to fix the problem, if you can!
The codebase is a very manageable size.

-= Code =-

You can get the code from the web page; the version control system we
use is very open and welcoming to new developers.
