Start by reviewing the tutorial code and the other documentation targeted by this issue, then determine how compilation and possible testing should be set up for the servant-0.5 release. Done means the relevant tutorial and documentation code can be compiled, with tests included if they are part of the agreed scope.

Description

I want to look into setting this up for the tutorial (and all the documentation in this repo), mainly in preparation for the servant-0.5 release. Any objections?
