conventions for project structures, thus minimizing the amount of build

Run checks
----------
Before you submit a patch, run ``make check`` to execute
the test suite and check for
[xref](http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/xref.html) and
[Dialyzer](http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/dialyzer.html)
warnings. You may have to run ``make clean`` first.

[Dialyzer](http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/dialyzer.html) warnings are compared
against a set of safe-to-ignore warnings found in
[dialyzer_reference](https://raw.github.com/basho/rebar/master/dialyzer_reference).
[xref](http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/xref.html) is run with
[custom queries](https://raw.github.com/basho/rebar/master/rebar.config)
to suppress safe-to-ignore warnings.
It is **strongly recommended** to check the code with
[Tidier](http://tidier.softlab.ntua.gr:20000/tidier/getstarted).
Select all transformation
options and enable **automatic** transformation. If Tidier suggests a transformation,
apply the changes **manually** to the source code. Do not use the code from
the
tarball (*out.tgz*) as it will have white-space changes applied by Erlang's pretty-printer.
