No app file

#38

The project contains no app file, which is required by most tools to be able to treat the whole thing as a library. For example without the app file I can't even insert a dependency for nitrogen into my project, it won't be automatically included in releases, etc. Without the app file I'd have to compile and install nitrogen everywhere where I want to use it.

This can be solved fairly easily, by either creating the app file manually and keeping it in sync with the source files (painful on the long run), or creating a small script that should auto generate the app file based on a source app file (painful once, after which no problems).

    You are completely right on all accounts, and this has been fixed in Nitrogen 2.x.

    Nitrogen 2.x includes an app file, conforms to standard OTP practices, and even allows you to run a simple commend to generate your own completely stand-alone, OTP-compliant Nitrogen project. (http://nitrogenproject.com/doc/index.html#sec-2)
