Cannot compile foma back-end

[reynoldsnlp]

It looks like libhfst_src/back-ends/foma/foma.c is missing the following lines that are present in libhfst_src/back-ends/foma/cpp-version/foma.cc:

char disclaimer1[] = "Foma, version ";
char disclaimer2[] = "\nCopyright © 2008-2015 Mans Hulden\nThis is free software; see the source code for copying conditions.\nThere is ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details, type \"help license\"\n\nType \"help\" to list all commands available.\nType \"help <topic>\" or help \"<operator>\" for further help.\n\n";

#ifndef SVN_REV
#define SVN_REV 0
#endif

Looks like there are efforts afoot to decouple foma anyway: hfst/hfst#485
@TinoDidriksen is suggesting using a Debian package there. I'm not sure what he has in mind for MacOS and Windows.

foma.c is not needed for the library. Only the files listed in https://github.com/hfst/hfst/blob/master/back-ends/foma/Makefile.am#L30 are.

I guess nobody builds HFST with GENERATE_FOMA_WRAPPER, or this should have errored out.

Ah, I should have been more careful about checking which files were listed in the old setup.py instead of just globbing everything.
