wanted to take a look at nim but it's .. not for me.  after building the
package, not yet installed, nothing, I already find my ~/.cache directory having
a 'nim' subdirectory with tons of .. who-knows-what ?  and the main site, I
loved the look of the documentation page, but _every_ link you click, you wind
up on github ??  tja.  shame really, the idea of using macros to output SDL
appealed.
