Merge yi-lib into the yi package about yi HOT 2 CLOSED

I started moving yi-lib into Yi. For the most par the process was straight forward.
However, the cbits code of yi-lib caused me issues. Executing yi exits with the message:
yi: /home/user/coconnor/Library/yi/share/yi-0.3/vty/Yi/Cbits.o: unknown symbol
`countLines'

I believe this occurs because the kernel is not set up to load the YiUtils.o object
file. Which causes this line:
result <- compileExpr kernel ("Yi.Main.main :: Yi.Kernel.Kernel -> Prelude.IO ()")
to crash yi.

If there was no C code this wouldn't be an issue, but I am curious how or if the GHC
compiler interface can be set up to load raw object files. My brief investigations
into this didn't reveal anything useful.

The key was importing ObjLink and then linking the YiUtils.o file manually via
ObjLink.loadObj. The path is currently hard coded into the source. Once I de-tangle
it a bit I'll attach an initial patch.
