This page http://nimrod-lang.org/download.html section "Bootstrapping from github" is obsolete.

Need to update to where to get fresh csources, and babel seems to be a must-have for x11 etc bindings to work.

sequtils: simplify toSeq implementation (nim-lang#750)
d095a73 
## Summary

Don't use complex macros, but instead use `compiles` + generic routines
for achieving the same. This should slightly improve compile times for
code often using `toSeq`, and is also another step towards less macro
usage during bootstrapping.

## Details

This change partially reverts
nim-works/nimskull#151,
which replaced the usage of `compiles` with macros. However, compared to
macros, `compiles` is the less problematic feature usage here, allowing
the implementation to be significantly less complex. In addition, the
`compiles` here is also easier to replace with type-inspection routines
in the future (such as `x is iterator`, once that works).
