Bug#986736: RFP: xmake -- A cross-platform build utility based on Lua

[Lin Qigang <lq27267@gmail.com>]

The xmake that was in Debian previously does not seem to be the same one 
that I have uploaded. There is a substantial following for it, and it 
has been actively maintained since 2015 [1]. Here is a listing of 
projects that volunteered their usage of xmake [2].

I believe this package is very useful and a good addition to Debian. The 
autopkgtest that I prepared for it shows only a fraction of its 
versatility [3]. The homepage contains a great deal of documentation on 
its usage as well [4].

I have been in contact with the upstream maintainer, Ruki Wang, since 
taking over the ITP, and I am sure this package will not be ignored or 
forgotten by its many users. Please consider adding it to Debian.
