TODO
====
- added %output library, which preselects a bunch of options required to build a library file (rather than an executable program):
%launcher none
%option no_sysinit
%zeropage dontuse
You still have to set %address and %memtop yourself to tell prog8 where the library is meant to be placed in memory
TODO: it's now a raw binary file, should it include the 2-byte PRG header for easy loading from basic as well perhaps?
- Compiling Libraries: improve ability to create library files in prog8; for instance there's still stuff injected into the start of the start() routine (see translateSubroutine function)
AND there is separate setup logic going on before calling it. Make up our mind!
Maybe all setup does need to be put into start() ? because the program cannot function correctly when the variables aren't initialized properly bss is not cleared etc. etc.
Need to add some way to generate a stable jump table at a given address.
Library must not include prog8_program_start stuff either. Must not require 'start' entrypoint either? Although they need some initialization entry point?
- Make some of the target machine config externally configurable (for 1 new target, the existing ones should stay as they are for the time being)
- add paypal donation button as well?

- Kotlin: can we use inline value classes in certain spots?
- add float support to the configurable compiler targets
- Improve the SublimeText syntax file for prog8, you can also install this for 'bat': https://github.com/sharkdp/bat?tab=readme-ov-file#adding-new-syntaxes--language-definitions

Add a -library $xxxx command line option (and/or some directive) to preselect every setting that is required to make a library at $xxxx rather than a normal loadable and runnable program?
Need to add some way to generate a stable jump table at a given address.
Need library to not call init_system AND init_system_phase2 not either.
Library must not include prog8_program_start stuff either. Must not require 'start' entrypoint either? Although they need some initialization entry point?
- [problematic due to using 64tass:] better support for building library programs, where unused .proc are NOT deleted from the assembly.
Perhaps replace all uses of .proc/.pend/.endproc by .block/.bend will fix that with a compiler flag?
But all library code written in asm uses .proc already..... (textual search/replace when writing the actual asm?)
