Automated builds of OSLib (CI)

[Justin F]

Hiya,

I recently updated PrivateEye to build automatically on each push, on 
GitHub for David Thomas. As one of the incidental parts of that [1], it 
was necessary to build OS Lib from source. That was, until I realisd that 
I could just download the built release version of OSLib.

However, this code still exists and trivial though it is, it would allow
OSLib to be built and tested automatically on GitHub, and it would mean 
that it would be possible for people to submit PRs against it, and have 
them reviewed. I know there's not exactly a glut of change going on with
RISC OS or OSLib, but a more modern approach to the management of the
sources might mean that it was less maintenance and easier to accept
changes...

So is there any interest in that? At the very least it would be simple to 
set up a static mirror to allow people to give PRs that can be manually 
updated using the existing mechanism.
