 For a demonstration, see Test.cs and demo.c to get an idea of what's going on.
 Then run:
 
-$ make test
+$ make run-test-local
 $ cd generated
 $ ./demo
 
+To make a redistributable shared object that includes the assembly, you can
+then:
+
+$ make clean
+$ make bundle=true
+$ rm *.dll
+$ ./demo
+
+Note that you must have Mono's mkbundle tool installed to use the bundle
+feature.
+
+If all you want to do is generate a binding for an assembly, you can simply
+pass the assembly name as a single argument to cilc and it will automatically
+generate bindings in a temporary directory, compile them using the bundle
+feature, and install the produced shared library in the lib/ subdirectory and
+the headers in include/.
+
+$ cilc Assembly.dll
+
+To tie-in with existing GOjbect hierarchies, pass pairs of pkg-config package
+and comma-separated namespaces. For example:
+
+If you want to use a Gtk# widget in a Gtk+ application:
+
+$ cilc Widget.dll gtk+-2.0 gtk
+
+To bind gtk-sharp, but tying it into the native hierarchy for gdk:
+
+$ cilc gtk-sharp.dll gtk+-2.0 gdk
