As a windows user, I'm sure there must be an other explanation, but i
have not figured out which :(

I don't know if this is wise.
There are a lot of users that just get a program and use it. We should
aim for them. There are also users who like to have more detail and
background. They can find this at this project site.

I think this is a good idea *if* it is supported by Kyle. It should be
clear where to get the jal compiler package. This could be jallib
project or Kyle's site. It could be both, if both supply the same
package. If there are different packages, it should be clear which one
is intended for which situation.

an option would be:
- jallib distribution also contains the compiler.
- Kyle refers to this distrubtion as 'complete package' and may copy
this to his own site
- compiler sources are on Kyle's site
- Compiler only (exe's, without libs or device files) are on Kyles site

This way Kyle can release updates of his compiler without dependency
with jallib. But you always need a jallib distribution (or your own
library set) to get operational. And the jallib distrubution is the
best place to start or update with.
