simple program

Hello world is really more appropriate as a first test for programming 
languages.  BFD is a library intended for the manipulation of binary 
files, not general purpose programming.

A more reasonable first test might be to write a program that tells you 
the type any files provided on its command line.  (Like the "file" program).

This is the correct list.
