request: promote omake to a library #22

Hi,

I like the idea of using Rust to safely parse makefiles. Can we please get a Rust API published for omake?

That way, we can parse and navigate makefile structures with downstream Rust projects!

Yeah this is planned. I removed the library portion because it was initially causing a lot of complexity because the underlying implementation is very tied to the command line (e.g., command line arguments, sub-make requires the use of the binary), and I wanted a way to have a library component that doesn't include clap as a dependency, otherwise consumers of the library would also need clap.

Anyway, it's definitely in the pipeline but the last few months have been a bit chaotic or me in my personal life.
