Initial alpha release

Note: this repository comprises two different implementations of fpm: the bootstrap version, written in Haskell, and the Fortran version, written in Fortran — where the former is used to bootstrap build the latter.

Feature summary

In this initial release, both fpm implementations support the following features:

• Packages containing library modules and executable apps/tests
• fpm.toml manifest file describing package configuration
• Building of sources in the correct order, accounting for module dependencies
• External package dependencies: both local and remote (using git)
• Fortran submodules
• Initialise a new fpm project in a new directory
• Specifying a custom --runner when executing apps/tests

The bootstrap implementation additionally supports:

• Specifying a custom build script or Makefile
• Specifying custom compiler flags
• Partial/incremental rebuilds

The Fortran implementation additionally supports:

• Packages including simple c code sources
• Specification of link flags to link with external library
• Auto-discovery of executable apps/tests not specified in manifest

This is an alpha release: some planned features are not yet implemented and no promises of future backward compatibility are given.
