Nice work! However, you seemed to have forgotten to add theos as a submodule. Without it, people cannot build this on their own if they chose to do so..

Good point, although most of the tweaks I've seen on GitHub seem to omit theos and assume the user can find and install it.

I'm not a tremendous fan of submodules but this is a good use case for one; I'll add theos as a submodule and push a commit in a second.

Edit: Done, but users have to manually download ldid (presumably due to licensing issues) anyway.

Thank you for the feedback and advice!

Users have to manually download ldid only because I aspire to keep Theos a binary-free distribution: it's totally cross-platform where you have GNU make and bash (and, for Logos, perl).
I guess it is a matter of personal preference, but I see it as "why not?", especially because the THEOS environment variable is respected.
