Aborted attempt to add the esy package manager to nixpkgs. I think I was almost there to get its dependencies, but I have no idea if building it like a dune package would have been enough to make it work. The last hurdle has been with cudf and dose3. The first problem when building dose3 was a string-byte problem, fixed by pinning the ocaml version of esy to 4.05. I don't know how to fix the next one: dose3 attempts to find a cudf.cmxa in a folder that contains a cudf.cma but no cmxa.
This submission is in the hope that this PR can be partially salvaged and my work was not totally useless.
