Add support for Swift Package Manager about mimus HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi! Is there still some interest in this? Because if this would allow Linux support, then I'd like to help :)

Hey @felix91gr!

Sorry, I was away for a short May vacation 😊

Yes, I would love to see support for SPM added. I think that adding support for Linux would require moving these matchers to a subspec since Foundation classes aren't available there (unless I'm wrong here?), but that sounds like an easy change as well 😉

Thanks for replying ^^

🤔 Okay, I'll make a to-do List. This is what I think needs to happen, please tell me what's wrong/missing:

SPM

• Minmus' code must be grouped under a Sources directory.
• Targets for Minmus code must be stated in Package.swift (every module is a target, I think)
• Minmus' testing code must be grouped under a Tests directory
• Test Targets must be stated in Package.swift (usually there's only one test target)

Compatibility

• This is related to the matchers you mentioned: Foundation parts compatibility needs to be checked. The corelibs-foundation framework is still incomplete, and we may not have available some pieces that Mimus uses.
  If that's the case, we might have to submit a request for that piece. The corelibs folk are really nice people, and are happy to hear what the users of it are looking for because it helps them prioritize their work. It also lets them know that their project is important and that's always good to know 🙂
• Syntax compatibility. Specifically some specific Foundation types that can be coerced (Foo as Bar) under Darwin but not under Linux. Here's the current PR on this issue, hopefully it gets merged soon-ish and we get to enjoy hassle free Foundation types usage.

Fixed by #33, closing!
