Coqmktop without Sys.command, changes in ./configure -*byteflags options
NB: Please re-run ./configure after pulling this commit
For launching ocamlc/ocamlopt, coqmktop doesn't use Sys.command anymore,
but rather CUnix.sys_command, which is based on Unix.create_process.
This way, we do not need to bother with the underlying shell
(/bin/sh or cmd.exe) and the way arguments are to be quoted :-).
Btw, many cleanups of coqmktop.
Only difficulty: the -coqrunbyteflags of ./configure is a "meta-option"
that collect as a string several sub-options to be given by coqmktop to ocamlc.
For instance ./configure -coqrunbyteflags "-dllib -lcoqrun". We need now to
parse all these sub-options. To ease that, I've made the following changes
to the ./configure options:
* The -coqrunbyteflags and its blank-separated argument isn't accepted
anymore, and is replaced by a new option -vmbyteflags which expects
a comma-separated argument. For instance:
./configure -vmbyteflags "-dllib,-lcoqrun"
Btw, on this example, the double-quotes aren't mandatory anymore :-)
* The -coqtoolsbyteflags isn't accepted anymore. To the best of my
knowledge, nobody ever used it directly (it was internally triggered
as a byproduct of the -custom option). The only interest I can think of
for this option was to cancel the default use of ocamlc custom-linking
on Win32 and MacOS. For that, ./configure now provides a -no-custom option.
