Well, I am the wrong person. See, I know exactly how it works, and
how to make it sing already. The ideal person, would be someone that
knows how to build and insall GNU software, but has never tested gcc
before. If they can follow it and understand it...
I glanced at it, and what is there seems to be about right.
We could make it slightly easier to use and submit results by
including the build and submission of results into a make rule. We
then document just the make rule.
