(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:

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