Although the installation instructions needed for openCilk are pretty straightforward, inexperienced users might find it difficult to guide themselves amd fully build openCilk from source with the given instructions. I started the PR with the initial idea of just adding this example use case line, but then I decided to do some extra housekeeping for the sake of "user-friendliness".

Even if the PR gets rejected, I would recommend just putting together the building commands in a serial order, along with the trivial fib.c compilation example.

You can run the compiler out of its build tree, adding `/bin/clang` to
the build directory name. For example:

`./build/bin/clang fib.c -o fib -O3 -fopencilk`

I like this suggestion. In fact, on the current development version of this repository, on the dev branch, the README and INSTALLING files have already been converted to Markdown.

@neboat Thanks. Ok I hadn't noticed. My focus was on the example use case. Do as you please :)
