Install now works more or less. "flx" goes in /usr/local/bin,
and the rest goes in /usr/local/lib/felix.
When Mike adjusts scoop, that may go in /usr/local/bin too.
However I'm thinking to re-invent TCL. Suppose all our programs
go in the library and just use a stub, for example:
var result : int = flx$ list (arg1, arg2, .. );
can be used to call flx, passing a list of argument strings.
[yeah, we could use a nicer list notation]
Then it's reasonably simple to make a registry of programs since they
all have the same type, and then we can write a parser to parse a string
into a program call.
Throw in some I/O and we have a shell. With a slight change in syntax,
the commands:
(a) run under our shell
(b) run under bash
(c) run under Felix program control
And you will note with some fiddling .. we already have a plugin registry!
So our shell can
(a) try to use a builting (pre-linked) command
(b) try to load a plugin
(c) try to run an external program
and if all else fails
(d) call system() to let bash have a go
