Many thanks to the following people, who have done much to improve this guide:

Colin Barnhorst, Bob Comer, Andrew Carpenter, Jaysan Bunoomally, Gareth Edmondson, and Don Vince.

All remaining errors are, of course, my fault alone. Anything you think was especially helpful was probably improved from my original text after a comment by one of the people above, so if you enjoy this article then think good karma in their general direction!
