hello-f2py example

[itcarroll]

Adds a sample project in the style of hello-cython, using the add_f2py_target function provided by scikit-build.

The example also demonstrates the minimal setup.py content when porting package metadata to pyproject.toml.

This would close #29, but so would #32. My goal was to keep it very simple.

Would be great if you could add that the method to create the signature on the fly, something like this:

# The module file for the signatures
set(hello_module "_hello")

# generate the signature file
set(hello_sig "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/_hello_signature.pyf")
add_custom_command(
  OUTPUT ${hello_sig}
  COMMAND ${F2PY_EXECUTABLE} -m ${hello_module} hello.f90 -h ${siesta_sig} --overwrite-signature
  WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}
  DEPENDS hello.f90
  COMMENT "Generating signature file files"
  )

then the signature need not be present.

I can add @zerothi 's suggestion if a project maintainer agrees. But, because the F2PY docs suggest manual modifications to the signature after generation, I'm going to leave the example as-is for now.

I don't think the add_f2py_target command is capable of handling the "the quick and smart way", which would avoid signature files altogether.

You are probably right. :) In the simple cases it is just nice ;)

Welp, this is now failing for me locally. Can't say what changed ... but now CMake claims to generate _hello-f2pywrappers2.f90 but does not, leading the subsequent build step to fail.
