Research direction

Start with the main README and review how htslib is described after compilation or installation. Add 3–5 small fast-starter examples that users can quickly test, keeping them uncomplicated; the work is done when the examples are included in the README and are usable with a compiled or installed htslib.

Description

Would it be possible to add a few fast-starter examples to htslib? Nothing too complicated,
just perhaps 3-5 smallish example for people to quickly test htslib after they have compiled
or installed it, to the main README.
