Default app #81

Closed mykmelez closed 8 years ago

This makes Positron the default app, so you don't have to create a .mozconfig file to build it. That simplifies build instructions, which is handy for folks who are less familiar with Mozilla's build system. In particular, with this change, I can tell people to simply cut and paste a block of text into a terminal to get, build, and test Positron:

git clone https://github.com/mozilla/positron cd positron ./mach build ./mach run positron/test/hello-world/

Whereas before I had to tell them to enable the app in .mozconfig, making it more cumbersome to follow the instructions, because they're no longer copy/pastable in one fell swoop:

git clone https://github.com/mozilla/positron cd positron

Now enable the app in .mozconfig: ac_add_options --enable-application=positron

./mach build ./mach run positron/test/hello-world/
