[Simh] Build problem under Mac OS X.

[Mark Garlanger]

I didn't see any info about it in any of the files that were included in the
zip file. Instead of adding instructions to make it, it would be simple to
fix this in the makefile, or at a minimum include an empty BIN directory in
the zip file.

Also, on the simh site's help page, the link to the FAQ is broken: "The
requested URL /simh_faq.txt was not found on this server."
