+ * Each benchmark is run in each "way" in `NoFibWays`.  By default `NoFibWays` is initialised to `GhcLibWays`, but you can override that in `mk/build.mk`. Typically, to just use the vanilla way, set `NoFibWays` to empty:

+ * By default nofib uses the stage-2 compiler from your build tree.  To tell nofib to use a different compiler, set `WithNofibHc`.  For example:
+{{{
+WithNofibHc = /home/simonpj/builds/HEAD/inplace/bin/ghc-stage1
