```
⇒  ../newt run ./bin/my_blinky_sim/apps/blinky/blinky 0
Error: Invalid target name: ./bin/my_blinky_sim/apps/blinky/blinky
```

Undocumented cryptic commands required for 'getting started' project ?
Not good, and doesn't inspire newbies to donate their time to the
project, just saying.

For reference: it took me 5 mins from zero to blinky light on the mBed
platform, which seems like a reasonable alternative to MyNewt, best as
I can tell, so there's room for improvement if you want to grow the
platform.
