+Once you've done that, the ext-core library can be built in the usual

+1. runhaskell Setup.lhs configure
+2. runhaskell Setup.lhs build
+3. runhaskell Setup.lhs install

+Then, you can build the example Driver program with:
+  ghc -package extcore Driver.hs -o Driver

+And finally, you can use the included Makefile to run tests:
