Enter iserv-proxy
With the introduction of -fexternal-interpreter we are now able to compile template haskell via an extern iserv process. This however is restricted to the same host, and can therefore not be used with crosscompilers where the iserv slave process needs to run on a different machine than the cross compiling haskell compiler. This diff breaks up iserv into a library and the iserv-bin binary. It also introduces the iserv-proxy, a proxy instance that the haskell compiler can talk to, and which forwards the calls to the iserv slave on a different machine, as well as providing some extra functionarily (sending files that are not available on the machine the slave runs on), as well as forwarding from the slave to the haskell compiler, when the slave needs to interrogate the haskell compiler. The iserv library now also exports the startSlave function to be called by the application that implements the slave on the target. The simplest such app would probably look something like: ``` extern void startServ(bool, const char *); int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { hs_init(NULL, NULL); startServ(false,"/tmp"); while(1); } ``` Special thanks to Shea Levy for the first draft of the iserv-remote, from which I took some inspiration. The `Buildable` flags are due to ghc-cabal not being able to build more than a single target. Please note that only the stock iserv-bin is supposed to be built *with* ghc. The library and proxy are supposed to be built outside of ghc. Yet I believe that this code should live together with iserv.
