[CakeML-dev] Bootstrapped compiler preview

I've also put up the .S file for a version of grep in CakeML:
https://cakeml.org/grep-b75523fe.tar.gz

You can compile it the same way as the others:
gcc -o cake_grep basis_ffi.c grep.S

It works, but it's pretty slow compared to the GNU version in C... and
of course has fewer features too... apart from the theorem (actually,
I still need to produce the theorem about the machine code, as opposed
to just about the source code).

It also takes about 10 seconds to compile, which isn’t great, but not shameful either. With a little more packaging, we could make this a beta release of v2 and put it on the web page.
