Testing

When you have tests failing please run in verbose mode before reporting, there are warnings there for tests known to fail occasionally.

./Build test verbose=1

Run without install

You don't need to install zim to run it. Just unpack the source and go to the package directory. Now run ./bin/zim and zim will find it's files relative to the package directory. This is useful when testing a new version or when you lack the rights to do a proper installation.
