-Building and Running Project:
-
-This project outputs to the console. It can be built and executed
-on QEMU as follows:
-
-    make run
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Troubleshooting:
-
-Problems caused by out-dated project information can be addressed by
-issuing one of the following commands then rebuilding the project:
-
-    make clean          # discard results of previous builds
-                        # but keep existing configuration info
-or
-    make pristine       # discard results of previous builds
-                        # and restore pre-defined configuration info
