2019-03-03[dune] Shim for starting `coqtop/coqide` with minimal config.Emilio Jesus Gallego Arias
As requested by Gaƫtan Gilbert, we add shims - `dev/shim/coqtop-prelude` - `dev/shim/coqide-prelude` that will build and start `coqtop` and `coqide` with just the prelude loaded properly. `dune exec dev/shim/coqtop-prelude` will build and execute this shim, equivalent to doing `make states && bin/coqtop` under the old model. This PR is just a bit of "a hack" until proper support for Coq libraries arrives to Dune, however there is nothing wrong with it. In particular, we must bootstrap `coq.plugins.ltac` as Dune needs to compute the full installation path to allow `%{bin:foo}` in deps, [this is a kind of shortcoming of the current implementation, and the error message is just terrible] We cannot depend on installed `.vo` files without doing a gross hack [including them inside an ml lib] so for now we just depend on their non-installed forms. Using `%{bin}` is good enough for the shims who would like to locate binaries using `PATH`. The long term plan (for now) is to have a command similar to `dune utop $dir`, `dune coqtop $dir`, which would spawn a proper Coq shell with the corresponding libraries on the path. This will work for `dir=stdlib/Init/` for example, or for any other combination.
