+add TSFFS to your SIMICS projects, configure TSFFS, and run fuzzing campaigns.

+## Set Up For Local Development
+
+
+End users can skip this step, it is only necessary if you will be developing the fuzzer.
+
+If you want to develop TSFFS locally, it is helpful to be able to run normal `cargo`
+commands to build, run clippy and rust analyzer, and so forth.
+
+To set up your environment for local development, note the installed SIMICS base version
+you would like to target. For example, SIMICS 6.0.169. For local development, it is
+generally best to pick the most recent installed version. You can print the latest
+version you have installed by running (`jq` can be installed with your package manager):
+
+```sh
+ispm packages --list-installed --json | jq -r '[ .installedPackages[] | select(.pkgNumber == 1000) ] | ([ .[].version ] | max_by(split(".") | map(tonumber))) as $m | first(first(.[]|select(.version == $m)).paths[0])'
+```
+
+On the author's system, for example, this prints:
+
+```txt
+/home/YOUR_USERNAME/simics/simics-6.0.169
+```
+
+Add this path in the `[env]` section of `.cargo/config.toml` as the variable
+`SIMICS_BASE` in your local TSFFS repository. Using this path, `.cargo/config.toml`
+would look like:
+
+```toml
+[env]
+SIMICS_BASE = "/home/YOUR_USERNAME/simics/simics-6.0.169"
+```
+
+This lets `cargo` find your SIMICS installation, and it uses several fallback methods to
+find the SIMICS libraries to link with. Paths to the libraries are provided via the
+SIMICS Makefile system, which is used by the `./build.rs` script above, hence this step
+is only needed for local development.
+
+Finally, check that your configuration is correct by running:
+
+```sh
+cargo clippy
+```
+
+The process should complete without error.
