Getting Started
---------------
Build a program consisting of demo/basics.c, demo/Wave_Writer.cpp, and
all source files in gme/. Be sure "test.nsf" is in the same directory.
Running the program should generate the recording "out.wav".

Read gme.txt for more information. Post to the discussion forum for
assistance.
