+When building during development, atward expects to be in a checkout
+of the TVL depot. This is required to automatically build the index
+page that is needed at compile time.
+
+As atward can not automatically detect the location of the page,
+you must set the `ATWARD_INDEX_HTML` environment variable to the
+right path.
+
+The expected page is build using the files in //web/atward/indexHtml
