@Araq: and this is what I use to build them in the point release. The problem 
in HEAD is that there is no "dist" folder so `install_tools.nims` fails. So my 
question: do you manually grab the source of 'nimsuggest' before running 
`install_tools.nims`?

@dom96: Such a solution would work. 'nimble' and 'nimgrep' are already handled. 
It's just 'nimsuggest' left to build. The building part is easy, it's where/how 
to get the source code. Ideally we wrap it in a small script that the homebrew 
solution can simply call (like we do already with `install_nimble` and 
`install_tools`).

I'm happy to implement one or another solution, just need to know which you 
prefer:

  1. A small script to download the 'nimsuggest' source and then the homebrew 
formula calls it to compile it
  2. A small script to download the 'nimble' and 'nimsuggest' source to a 
'dist' folder and then the homebrew formula simply calls `install_tools.nims`
