This tool helps you organize your picolisp downloads and installations. It's fairly easy to do this manually (i.e., without the pilot script); however, I keep forgeting where all the bits are, and so I found myself reluctant to (read, just lazy enough not to) update my picolisp install without having a convenience script like this to do it. Lazy people unite!

1. Clone this repo. (Or, simply download the pilot script -- it's a monolith.)
2. Put the pilot script somewhere on your $PATH. (This is not necessary, but convenient.)
3. Set up a config file in ~/.pilotrc. See the file pilotrc.sample in this repo for a model/sample. In short, there are only two items (variables) that need to be set in the config file. The pilot script will nag you about them; so you can't miss them. :)
4. You should be ready to go at this point. Enter pilot fetch as your first step. When it's done, it will tell you what to do next.

• pilot fetch downloads the latest distro to ${DISTRODIR}.
• pilot get is a synonym for pilot fetch.
• pilot extract extracts the latest distro (found in ${DISTRODIR}) into ${BUILDDIR}.
• pilot build starts the 64-bit (asm) build in the latest picolisp dir in ${BUILDDIR}.
• pilot install installs the latest build from ${BUILDDIR} into ${PREFIX}.
• pilot update is equivalent to pilot fetch && pilot extract && pilot build && pilot install.
• pilot relink relinks the pil script to a previously installed version of picolisp.
