Thanks for the fix, Alexei. I think this is a good start for updating the README. I've looked at the current version, and many other things are out-of-date (such as ij as the name of our executable). Some things are also duplicated - we now have the nice Quick Help pages for users [1] and developers [2]. As I see it, the Quick Start you've been referring to roughly matches [1], whereas [2] is for those who have to 'read this README and follow building instructions to the point.' :)
I suggest that we edit the README file more to improve it. What do you think? Do you think we can use JIRA 1730 for these changes?
