I don't know why github keeps putting merge commits into the history. In order to get rid of them, I had to force-push. Sorry about that. |

OK, I've found and changed the github settings. No more merge commits! That should do it. |

Cherry-picked from #10.
Installation instructions say to first run
awkname gawkif necessary. This fails, lib/toascii doesn't exist yet:Try running
maketo generate it:Of course, notangle isn't installed yet, and our goal is to install it. There is a copy in src/shell, but it needs substitutions for things like
|LIBDIR|which happens at installation time, and we also need awkname to modify several of these src/shell scripts before installing/running them.There may be some hack that lets us execute notangle before everything is installed, but the simplest workaround is to keep a generated copy of toascii in the repo.
If we followed the instructions and ran
make bootbeforemake, it wouldtouch toasciiand we would likely install it as an empty file.
