 Drillbit is an experimental new data storage format, which already shows great promise.
 Feel free to play around, however keep in mind that drillbit is currently in the prototyping stage.

+Getting started

+You will need to install libprotobuf-dev libraries through your favourite package manager.
+
+Then (as a normal user) at the console run:
+
+```bash
+./waf configure --prefix=install
+./waf install
+```
+
+This will install the binaries to `${PWD}/install/bin`.

+* `root2stripes [-h|--help] [-t treename] [-m pattern] [file]...`: Explode a root file
+* `stripes2root [dit files]...`: inverse of root2stripes 
+* `make_test_dit`: Requires `${PWD}/dit_test` directory to exist, builds some test columns
