Package Manager and Build System

[calebh]

It would be nice if Juniper had at least a rudimentary package manager and build system. To get started, perhaps we could have some sort of centralized repository that points to Git repos. Other ideas on package management are welcome.

A git repository containing JSON that points to git repositories would be both easy and comprehensive. No need to complicate things beyond that.

Could tie in with #16 and Desktop Mode, with the package manager written in Juniper, as well as a tool to easily edit and verify the central JSON file.

The editing tool should also have a pruning function where it checks the git repos for aliveness/validity.

Rather than JSON, the manifest files could themselves be written in Juniper, like how Swift does its git-based package management.
