Adding shared makefile logic and helper scripts Shared logic can be imported via `include ../lib/shared.mk` Helper functions include 3 current opperations 1. mk_link:: This will create a symbolic link if the file doesn't already exist. 2. rm_link:: Will remove the link if it is a symlink. 3. report :: This color codes the status of a message and adds a leading symbol. report also can be called with `LAST_RETURN=$? report "message"` and will expand this to be either `report info "message"` Or `report error "message"` based on the last return value. Current status are info, warn, and error. 2019-04-27 22:09:36 +00:00			`#! env zsh`
Added emacs modeline like feature. 2019-12-11 05:52:23 +00:00			`# -- sh --`

Added Step that create parent dir in symlinking. 2019-12-13 17:36:07 +00:00			REPORT="`dirname $0`/report"

Refactored to use .ONESHELL This makes it a hell of a lot simpler but will lose support for BSD make. All effected machines are running gnu-make, so the cost benefit ratio ways heavily in favor of doing this. 2020-03-09 17:30:45 +00:00			`"$REPORT" pass "Symlink already installed $1"`
