-**** Ubuntu Linux *****
-To Compile for the AVR you'll need the packages gcc-avr and avr-libc. You'll
-also need gcc and libncurses to be able to use menuconfig. To use the simulator
-you'll also need libglut.
-
-Type 
-$ make menuconfig
-and set your settings or load one of the default profiles. Then type
-$ make
-to compile for the avr. You can upload the image to a borg-16's serial 
-bootloader (foodloader) by typing
-$ make sflash

-****Windows XP****
-Under Windows you'll need to install the following things:
--WinAVR
--Cygwin with the following packages:
---gcc
---libncurses-devel
---make (the one that WinAVR delivers doesn't work right)
---opengl (for the simulator)
-
-now go to the cygwin bash shell and use the same commands as with Linux to
-compile and flash.
