Related to issue #614 but not quite the same, as the code for JuliaInterface is in this repository...

Pro:

  • user won't need a C/C++ compiler anymore just to install GAP.jl (of course they'll still need it to install certain GAP packages, at least until issue Provide JLLs for GAP packages #614 is resolved)

Con:

  • making update to the JuliaInterface code will become more annoying (perhaps some motivation to reduce it further)
  • since we use GC push/pop in there, we will need at least two binaries, one for Julia 1.3 and one for Julia >= 1.4 (as there was an ABI break for JL_GC_PUSH1 after 1.3). That's even more annoying, unless we can come up with a way to write that code "generic" somehow ...
