Self-contained `fud2` package

It would be good to enable fud2 to be installed using a single cargo command (like calyx today):
cargo install fud2`
There are a couple of things stopping us from doing this:
- [ ]
fud2requires thersrcdirectory which is only available through a Calyx checkout. I think this can be relatively easily fixed by including the source of those files within thefud2files but not the most elegant thing to do. - [ ] There are a bunch of tools that need to be installed for
fud2to work with its default states. This can be handled by afud2 installcommand or as a part of an interactivebuild.rsscript that gets run when you installfud2.
Thanks; yes, making this work in a "standalone" way would be a worthy goal. (I'm linking this to two preexisting bullets on the tracker: one for embedding resource files, and one for fud2 install.)
I don't know if this makes sense, but a maximalist vision here would be that cargo install fud2 is a convenient entry point to the Calyx ecosystem… as in, from there you can fud2 install everything else.
