Update README and put CI in place

[fommil]

It would be great if you updated the README with practical details about this fork and also used a lot of the supporting infrastructure to get a CI up and running.

We recently did a review of what is out there to assist community dev in https://github.com/ensime/ensime-server so please feel free to take our ideas.

Thanks! I've seen discussions on IRC about CI (but not the details); a problem are build times are too long for Travis.
I've seen people splitting their testsuites, but I suspect that the compiler alone might take far too long to build for Travis, so even this solution might not apply.

We've recently been having problems with travis as our buid gets bigger/more complex. It will kill processes that spend too long above single thread. I suspect that this CI build will suffer from similar issues.

Right now I''m considering setting up a VPS jenkins instance to do main and PR builds (there are plugins to support all of it).

Hi Roy,

I did it already with Lars help :
Typelevel-ci.orexio.org

Please see the mailing list for more details

Awesome.

We now have http://typelevel-ci.orexio.org/job/typelevel-scala-pr/ and it's working pretty well. We might have some better stuff coming soon but I'm happy to close this general issue.

I have a PR for a better README. I'll make it better and get it merged.
