README.md is confusing about graaljs HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for your comment, Fabio. We will clarify in the README.md that it is indeed meant when you use a Graal compiler that you built from source yourself.

Regarding using Graal.js with a GraalVM: I am not sure what you mean with that? The GraalVMs binaries we provide are shipped with Graal.js already. If you build a GraalVM yourself, the documentation for that can be found in GraalVM, not in Graal.js.

@wirthi thanks for the swift response and for revising the README.md.

I actually meant building Graal.js with GraalVM 1.0.0 RC1. I've just checked out the repository again and tried to use GraalVM to mx --dynamicimports /compiler build Graal.js from scratch. AFAIK, the GraalVM can't compile its own compiler, but LabsJDK can.

I have updated the README a bit. For the compilation problem there is another issue open.

Thanks! Although, I think it would also be useful to mention what vm should be used for which step. mx --dynamicimports /compiler build, for example, requires LabsJDK and won't work on a GraalVM (which is not obvious for beginners).
