Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

After some tweaks to our dep builds, we can now build a universal binary for macOS by using `CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES`. So, let's do that. This requires a number of additional changes: 1. We need to build on macOS 11, since earlier versions do not support building universal (M1 + Intel) binaries. 2. We need to provision a universal `libintl`. The linker will look for an ARM64 version of this library when linking the `nvim` binary. While we're here: 1. Link statically to `libintl`. This allows to to avoid having to do any install name rewriting or codesigning to package Neovim. 2. Bump the `MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET` to `11`. We're already using a `libintl` built by Homebrew (through the pre-installed version of `gettext`), and that is built for macOS 11. In order to ensure we link to `libintl.a` instead of `libintl.dylib`, we have to make sure that CMake can't find the latter. This ideally should be a matter of doing `brew unlink gettext`. However, CMake is too adept at finding things that Homebrew has installed (even when not linked), so we have to do a bit more than that. This appears in the additional step ensuring static linkage to `libintl`. We end up breaking some Homebrew-installed software in the process, and some of these software is called during our build (e.g. curl, git, wget). To avoid any adverse effects, let's just uninstall them. |

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:
- Simplify maintenance and encourage contributions
- Split the work between multiple developers
- Enable advanced UIs without modifications to the core
- Maximize extensibility
See the Introduction wiki page and Roadmap for more information.
Features
- Modern GUIs
- API access from any language including C/C++, C#, Clojure, D, Elixir, Go, Haskell, Java, JavaScript/Node.js, Julia, Lisp, Lua, Perl, Python, Racket, Ruby, Rust
- Embedded, scriptable terminal emulator
- Asynchronous job control
- Shared data (shada) among multiple editor instances
- XDG base directories support
- Compatible with most Vim plugins, including Ruby and Python plugins
See :help nvim-features for the full list!
Install from package
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.
Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!
Install from source
See the Building Neovim wiki page for details.
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
cmake --build build --target helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
Transitioning from Vim
See :help nvim-from-vim for instructions.
