bootstrap

Bootstrap everything from source, by bootstrapping all your tools from source, from source!

Tool Selection

The tools we will be bootstrapping will be judged by (in order of precedence):

1. Tools which make very complex things happen that are error-prone otherwise.
2. Tools which are very likely to be used in arbitrary scripts somewhere.
3. Tools which can be reliably bootstrapped from a given SHA.
4. Tools which work on all supported platforms.
5. Tools which have premade binaries on common platforms (to reduce download time).

NOTE: We will be ensuring through horrific awful means that every build will be reproducible, aka producing a single SHA + digest.

Supported Platforms

1. linux-x86_64
2. macosx-x86_64
3. ...

External Dependencies

1. fetch/package: be able to fetch and extract source files from URLs and git repositories.
2. compile: be able to compile and link the C/C++ code you may wish to depend on.
3. languages: be able to build the versions of programming languages (and their build tools) you need.
