I added a note about how you can use the Alire 1.1 release candidate to install toolchains.

Toolchains are customizable within GNAT Studio. If you use `alr edit` your Alire-configured toolchain should be selected. I would check to be sure. I don't work on Alire, but that work last time I tried. (I've been using Visual Studio Code lately as my editor)

> Windows and Linux?

I've built and run several projects on Windows and Linux without a problem.
