joeduffy cb8af34c93 Eliminate the scope-based symbol table
This change eliminates the scope-based symbol table.  Because we now
require that all module, type, function, and variable elements are
encoded as fully qualified tokens, there is no need for the scope-based
lookups.  Instead, the languages themselves decide how the names bind
to locations and just encode that information directly.

The scope is still required for local variables, however, since those
don't have a well-defined "fixed" notion of name.  This is also how
we will ensure the evaluator stores values correctly -- including
discarding them -- in a lexically scoped manner.

Mu

Mu is a framework and toolset for creating reusable stacks of services.

If you are learning about Mu for the first time, please see the overview document.

Building and Testing

To build Mu, first clone it into a standard Go workspace:

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/marapongo
$ git clone git@github.com:marapongo/mu $GOPATH/src/github.com/marapongo/mu

A good default value for GOPATH is ~/go.

Mu needs to know where to look for its runtime, library, etc. By default, it will look in /usr/local/mu, however you can override this with the MUPATH variable. Normally it's easiest just to create a symlink:

$ ln -s $GOPATH/src/github.com/marapongo/mu /usr/local/mu

There is one additional build-time dependency, golint, which can be installed using:

$ go get -u github.com/golang/lint/golint

And placed on your path by:

$ export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

At this point you should be able to build and run tests from the root directory:

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/marapongo/mu
$ make

This installs the mu binary into $GOPATH/bin, which may now be run provided make exited successfully.
