(1) ./README should mention  perldoc .  ("perldoc -F"?)

README points people at docs/parrot.pod and docs/intro.pod.
While perldoc is currently mentioned somewhere in the pods, by the
time folks see that, they've already been challenged - ".pod?  what's
a .pod?  how do i read a .pod?".  Even perl folks may only rarely deal
directly with .pod files, using their derived man pages instead.  And
we're going to have non-perl visitors.  So it seems worth also
mentioning perldoc in the README itself.


(2) As of this morning's parrot_2004-02-28_080000, on linux x86, I'm
still getting these compiler warnings while make'ing parrot:

   src/interpreter.c: In function `runops_int':
   src/interpreter.c:824: warning: enumeration value `PARROT_FUNCTION_CORE'
   not handled in switch

   ops/core_ops_cgp.c
   ops/io.ops: In function `cgp_core':

The first two at least might be easy to stomp on.
