Updated the README, ported the tests and got them passing.

Thanks for porting this over!  I'm relatively new at this, so let me know if I've made a faux pas by updating the org.scala-sbt repo prematurely, or anything else.  No problem if your not interested in the maintanence, I'll pass this on to Banno in a week if I don't hear from you. 

Thanks again,
