Straight.el: Implement rebuilding of orgmode docs

[aspiers]

I just hacked a patch to the org-mode manual (org-manual.org) and initiated a rebuild of the org package, but it didn't rebuild the texinfo file (doc/org.texi). I think this is because straight.el currently has no way of knowing that the .texi file is generated from org-manual.org via an info target in Org's Makefile system. So perhaps addressing #541 might be one way of enabling a fix for this?

Doh - duplicate of #72. Sorry for the noise!

Actually, this isn't technically a duplicate since #72 was about a much more general feature.

If I understand this comment in #71 correctly, now that #72 is now implemented supporting arbitrary build commands (yay!), once #115 (el-get recipe support) is resolved by PR #549, straight.el will be able to automatically run Org's Makefiles which build the Org manual by taking advantage of the build step's in el-get's recipe for org-mode.

Is that all correct?

@aspiers straight implements a psuedo org-elpa recipe repository which (as of #72) provides a recipe similar to el-get's for org/org-plus-contrib. straight-get-recipe should return:

`(org-plus-contrib :type git :repo "https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git"
                   :local-repo "org"
                   :files (:defaults "contrib/lisp/*.el")
                   :build ,(let ((make (if (eq system-type 'berkeley-unix) "gmake" "make"))
                                 (emacs (concat "EMACS=" invocation-directory invocation-name)))
                             `(,make "oldorg" ,emacs)))

Which straight--convert-recipe will convert to the system specific build commands. For example, on my gnu/linux system the recipe is converted to:

(org-plus-contrib :type git :repo "https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode.git"
                  :local-repo "org"
                  :files (:defaults "contrib/lisp/*.el")
                  :build ("make" "oldorg" "EMACS=/usr/bin/emacs"))

I just made a test edit to doc/org-manaul.org to be sure and everything seemed to work fine. Let me know if that's the case for you or if you run into any problems.

Ah, thanks - I'd forgotten that the Org recipes were hardcoded in straight.el. Yep, seems to work so I'm closing again - thanks a lot!!
