 Usage
 -----------------
 
-Currently, it is all very simple: `make` followed by `./Main
-file.torrent` is all that turns out to be supported at the moment.

-The TODO list
------------------
-
-The list of things that needs done. Feel free to take anything on the
-list if you want, but do coordinate so we don't do multiple work on
-the same thing. Feel free to add anything to the list as well. It
-partially acts like a bug tracker at the moment in addition to being a
-wish-list.
-
-    * Change the sender Queue into having two queues, one for short
-      messages and one for long messages.
-    * hFlush on the sender queue in the sender process, intelligently.
-      There is no reason to flush the queue before we are fairly sure
-      we got all the small messages into it. It is dependent on the
-      above part.
-    * Optimize reading of blocks by moving it to the sender Process in
-      The Peer Process
-    * Don't connect twice to the same client id. Track the clients we
-      connected to.
-    * Make it possible to Poison OMBox'es. Currently we leak due to them.
-    * Handle error cases when checking a torrent file.
-    * Add support for DHT
-    * Add support for multiple files
-    * Add rate limitation support, locally or globally
-    * Add leeching support
-    * Add support for multiple torrents at once
-    * Add prioritization support of multiTorrents
-    * Support the FAST extension
-    * Support UDP tracking extension
-    * Support partial downloads (select files you want in the torrent)
-    * Write an ETA estimator
-    * Implement a creator for torrent files
-    * Implement a scraper on trackers
-    * Turn the logging system into a better framework, add log levels,
-      add process names so we can see who is doing what.
-    * If we get a wrong URI, the code currently deadlocks since the tracker
-      dies. Handle this problem gracefully.
-    * Cleanup the BCode module, while keeping the interface somewhat
-      stable. The code is an utter mess as it stands right now.
-    * Improve the cabal file for the project, check with GHC 6.12.1,
-      provide correct versions of needed packages.
-    * Implement the PieceManager code; the documentation explains what it
-      must do.
-    * Make the client into an eligible leecher.
+We are using cabal for the build. The top-level Makefile will be default
+attempt a user install into $HOME by using cabal-install.
