* Compilation
    First, create a new directory:
        mkdir build
        cd build
    Configure Ella:
        cmake ..
    Several options are available to help developers, and users:
        * -DELLA_DATADIR: if you don't want to install the data files on your
            system, it can be sueful to set the path of the data directory.
            e.g. cmake .. -DELLA_DATADIR=../data # if you compile in the build/ directory.
        * -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: standard cmake option, to specify if we are in
            debug or release mode. The mode is set to Release by default, use
            Debug add the debug symbols, which are useful to debug.
            e.g. cmake .. -DELLA_DATADIR=../data -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
        * -DWITHOUT_SWFDEC: to enable/disable the use of swfdec. By default, it
            is enabled. Note: use this function disable some features of Ella, but
            doesn't require to have swfdec.
            e.g. cmake .. -DELLA_DATADIR=../data -DWITHOUT_SWFDEC=Yes
    Then, to compile Ella:
        make

* Installation/launch Ella
    Now, you should be able to install Ella or to launch it from this directory.
    To install it:
        make install
        Note: this requires administration rights.
    To launch it:
        if you haven't installed it (you need to set a ELLA_DATADIR with cmake,
        see at the top of this document):
            src/ella
        if it is installed:
            ella
