By the time someone reads this README, they have already extracted the
archive. I think what we really want to do is tell them to set it to the
place they have extracted it to.
Perhaps /path/to instead of /home/me?
I actually prefer 0.8 instead of <version>. I don't think we have ever
had two consecutive versions where these instructions worked without
change, someone has to review them each time anyway. If there's a fixed
release number, it makes it that much more obvious that we need to do this.

I dont think replacing<install-prefix> with /home/me is the right
thing to do here, the former simply implies wherever the user
installed it rather than a specific directory and seems the more
appropriate. Replacing<version> with 0.8 also isnt actually all that
helppful in my view, and will probably only lead to it being out of
date at some point in future, so I would be inclined to leave that
alone too.
